Breads
European Rye
with and without caraway. a darker and denser rye bread then our new york rye. naturally leavened with our sourdough starter, this style of dark rye bread is moister and tangier then the straight-yeasted n.y. rye. traditionally found in germany and eastern europe, our european rye is a perfect accompanying bread for a hearty soup or your next polka fest.
Fougasse
leavened with commercial yeast. this is a traditional bread from the provence region of france. the unique tree shape is hand cut and insures plenty of crispy crust in every bite. sold sprinkled with a mixture of fennel, poppy, and sesame seeds. 100% unbleached wheat flour.
Walnut & Scallion
naturally leavened bread. a classic combination of whole wheat and toasted walnuts is updated and complimented perfectly with the addition of chopped fresh scallions, that provides a surprising sweetness. 66% unbleached wheat flour, 34% organic whole-wheat flour.
Garlic & Chevre (goat Cheese)
naturally leavened bread. made with chopped roasted garlic, laura chenel chevre, and cracked black pepper. this bread has a strong and rich flavor. 100% unbleached wheat flour.
French Bread
leavened with commercial yeast. a classic french dough with a thin, crisp crust. our lengthy fermentation allows us to use less yeast, which allows the clean, nutty flavor of the wheat to dominate.
French Batard
our classic french dough in the shape of a batard. a football shaped loaf, the batard was one of the last classic shapes the french formed.
French Ficelle (string) Thin Baguette
classic french bread formed as long as a traditional baguette, but much thinner (hence a string). again, with the new shape: more crust surface then a traditional baguette with less interior crumb. this (and our epis) were created for our rad customers who are into extreme crusting.
Sourdough Bread
naturally leavened bread with sourdough starter. a true sourdough, our loaves go through a 4 day fermentation process from the building of the mother to the baking of the dough. our sourdough has a crisp and chewy crust with a moist open crumb, and a well-balanced flavor. we favor a slightly sweeter flavor than traditional san francisco sourdoughs (sometimes known to be flavored with vinegar). 100% unbleached wheat flour.

Black Olive
naturally leavened bread (as opposed to commercially yeasted). moist, chewy bread full of pitted black kalamata olives. open crumb. 100% unbleached wheat flour. purple tint is as result of the olives staining the dough.
Caramelized Onion
our caramelized onion bread is fermented without commercial yeast to a rich, sweet and complex flavor. large chunks of sweet yellow onions are caramelized and added to the dough. brown mustard and imported caraway seeds add pop to the consistency and bite to the taste. the crumb is creamy white and very moist.
Fig & Anise
naturally leavened bread. slightly sweet with chopped and pureed figs and whole anise seed. 95% unbleached wheat flour, 5% organic whole wheat flour, cornmeal, sugar. dark color is a result of the sugar caramelizing. its the oldest of our recipes, based on a bread baked by the roman army as they marched.
