"In the early 1900s, a Ukrainian baker called Hyman Rinkoff moved to London, where he opened a neighbourhood bakery catering to the local Jewish community, which traded in the same spot for 65 years. Today Rinkoff is run by Hyman’s grandchildren and occupies two newer spaces, including its flagship Jubilee Street premises, which conceals its enormous bakehouse in the middle of a housing estate. There’s still platzels, Linzer biscuits and plaited challah at Rinkoff’s, but most people are here for the crodoughs, a thoroughly modern donut-croissant the size of a cheeseburger. Try one of them, then take a loaf of challah home, which slices beautifully, toasts like a dream and is lighter than air." - Isaac Rangaswami
