Why Mari bakes. And why you're right here
Jun 04, 2025
How it started
If everything could be explained as dough, the world would be a much simpler place. A little flour, a little water, a pinch of time – and most importantly, emotion. Mari believes in it. And that's why this website was created.
Behind Mari Peče is a baker who did not get to kvass by chance. Over time, she obtained her two dream professional qualifications: both in Bread and regular pastries (rolls, buns or loaves), and in Fine pastries (which are croissants, cakes and other sweet leavened pastries).
Her grandfather had dreamed of owning his own bakery all his life, but he never managed to open it. In 1953, the currency reform came and he lost all his life savings and his dream bakery.
When Mari took over that dream and after years of working in a completely different field ( yes, you can leaven bread at Porsche ), she fulfilled hers at the age of forty: she officially became a baker.
Baking has become a way for her to slow down, ground herself, and share joy . And that's what she now offers to you - through e-books, courses , and this blog.
What you will find on the website
- E-books about baking with yeast - concise, practical, humorous and beautifully designed
- Baking courses in the Czech Republic and abroad – such as Kvas & Kaliméra in Greece
- Articles about leaven, bread, joy and chaos in the kitchen
- And maybe even tips for baking trips, recipes and little things that make baking a ritual
Why return?
This website is not just about how to mix and bake . It's also about how to bake with taste , stop being afraid and find something more in baking than the result . I always say that taste is important, appearance is a bonus.
Whether you're here for bread, for yourself, or for a moment of peace - welcome home.
