“I bake bread.
But not the way the industry taught me”
Tommy Lee is the founder of Tommy Le Baker, based in Kuala Lumpur.
He was trained in French boulangerie and spent years working within the baking industry, supplying ingredients and improvers to commercial bakeries.
Today, his work moves in a different direction.
He bakes without additives, working with time, variation, and restraint.
“I don’t try to control the dough.
Most of the problems in baking come from what we did earlier.
Too much mixing.
Too much force.
I try to do less.
It’s not perfect.
But it’s more honest.”
