Richard Hart hosts pop-up bakery in Melbourne March 24

Richard Hart, a famous baker from San Francisco, is bringing his unique baking style to Melbourne. He will showcase his pastries and breads in a week-long pop-up bakery starting March 24. Hart is known for breaking traditional baking rules, believing that creativity should guide the process. Hart previously worked as the head baker at Tartine in San Francisco. He also opened Hart Bageri in Copenhagen, which has become popular for its innovative baked goods. Local baker Michael James praised Hart’s ability to push boundaries in baking. In preparation for his Melbourne bakery, Hart arrived early to learn about local ingredients and climate. He wants to create the best bread possible. While he prepares for this event, he is also working on a new bakery in Mexico City and plans to create another one for a luxury hotel in London. Hart’s menu will feature some unusual items, like conchas filled with whipped mascarpone and Vegemite caramel on French biscuits, combining local flavors with his creative touch. He aims to share his passion for baking, and he encourages home bakers to embrace the journey with his new book, where he freely shares his recipes and experiences. With Hart’s arrival, Melburnians can expect to enjoy unique and high-quality baked goods. The Hart Bageri pop-up will be open from 9 am to 1 pm, or until sold out, from March 24 to 28 at Melbourne Quarter.
