DELICIOUS BREADS:
Handmade with select flours and long fermentation times, our bread is a flavorful addition to any meal, and great on its own as a snack. All of our loaves are crafted by our dedicated team of mixers and bakers who have total control from starter through the deliciously crusty finish. We use minimal yeast, preferring to leaven our bread with levain (sourdough starter), poolish or other type-specific preferments. This helps to create flavor and extend the counter life of your loaf without the need for preservatives. Our levain is refreshed daily, and kept at a mild sour, providing flavor without being overly acidic. Note: We are currently running a reduced bread selection, and hope to be back to a regular variety in the near future. Check our gallery to preview some of our delicious creations!!
