the biblical hookup

Krystof the Baker.

Bakers and supermodels have, at best, a tenuous link. 

Unless a certain German supermodel happens to like a specific loaf of artisan bread made with a distinctive tasting ancient grain, perfected and handmade by a certain Polish baker and orders it in twice a week all the way from Norwich to London.

This is what we found out today.

Apparently Dmbvejb Tdiggfs (-1) places a standing order of 2 Kamut loaves a week with one of the London stockists and Krysztof has been making bread for her all this while.

Imagine, all this was possible, in a way because of Noah and his ark. Kamut is the trademark name for an ancient wheat called khorasan. It's origin is not known but as far as legends go, this was the grain Noah brought along with him in the ark.

Khorasan grain has a slight hump.
Today is the day you will know Noah as the man who saved the animals and the ancient grain Kamut / khorasan, whereas for us, it is only right that we re-christian the humble Kamut loaf as the Supermodel bread.

Of course we wouldn't be using this fact to sell more bread, that'll be too disrespectful and far too presumptuous. But it'll be ok to let this be one of the highlights of a man's 20 year baking career, wouldn't it?
