Breads & Rolls
All our breads are made with four simple ingredients—hard winter wheat flour, sea salt, water and sourdough starter developed with native yeasts.
We create variety by adding roasted nuts and seeds, herbs, whole rolled oats, rye flour, dried fruits and olives
The process begins with a pre-fermented dough—a wet mixture called a poolish or a stiffer dough commonly referred to as a starter or biga
Which slowly develops flavor and texture with the help of ambient strains of yeast specific to our bakery's particular environment. The poolish is "fed" over a 24 hour period as the native yeast develops and the dough gains strength. The sourdough breads are allowed to develop another 48 hours to insure maximum flavor
Years of experience guide the hands of our bread bakers who mix, scale and form the individual loaves, buns and rolls.
Each style of bread is shaped and scored in a particular manner which will express its individual character. The final step is a trip to our Pavailler ovens (constructed on site by French technicians) where the carefully handled loaves are laid directly on the stone hearth and quickly baked at a hot temperature
How will they come out today?
Like other live, fermented products which depend on the slow development of natural bacteria (think of fermenting wine or aging cheese) the end result is dramatically affected by heat and humidity—water temperature, air temperature, the temperature and moisture in the air during the retarding and proofing processes, the temperature and volume of steam in the ovens
Our team of bakers daily accepts this challenge
Demonstrating excellence and consistency, using their intelligence and intuition as well as skills developed over years to produce outstanding breads—truly demonstrating the craftsmanship deserving the title Artisan Bakers
Artisan Bread Varieties
Baguette
A consistent Award winner. This bread helped launch the bakery 35 years ago and is still the most popular baguette in town
Eugene Sourdough
Aged a total of 48 hours, this chewy bread has a flavor unique to our bakery. Develops a stronger flavor as it ages
Whole Wheat Sourdough
Again, aged 48 hours. A slightly softer crumb with a mild sour flavor which underscores the organic whole wheat flour
Birdseed Multi-Grain
A whimsical name to describe a hearty combination of seeds and grains. The classic French seed combination of sesame, sunflower and flax combined with rolled oats, whole wheat, rye and white wheat flour and a bit of honey. A favorite sandwich bread
Pane Como
The classic Northern Italian white bread with a well developed airy crumb, just enough texture and a chewy crust. Makes great french toast and grilled cheese sandwiches
Italian Ciabatta
Our version has a crisp crust and a very holey, springy interior, the perfect platform to soak up extra virgin olive oil and aged balsamic vinegar or top with salami and aged Gorgonzola
Specialty Breads
Whole Wheat Walnut
Roasted walnuts flavor this mildly fermented bread. Outstanding with soft cheese (especially triple cream Bries) or toasted with lots of butter
Fig Hazelnut
Roasted local hazelnuts and figs combined in a light, whole wheat loaf
Rosemary Garlic
Fresh rosemary and roasted garlic in a rich, white loaf
Garlic Ciabatta
Roast garlic in our crusty, classic Italian Ciabatta
Greek Olive Ciabatta
Our daily Ciabatta with ripe Kalamata olives folded in. Salty and chewy
Kate's Rye
An aromatic light rye with sunflower and flax seeds
Rolls and Buns
French Hard Rolls
the same dough as our baguettes—Chewy crust and soft insides
Ciabatta Buns
the perfect sandwich roll or use it in place of a burger bun—magnifico!
"Birdseed" Multi-Grain Buns
Bakes up with a slightly denser crumb than its parent bread due to the shaping. Excellent with cheese or just plain butter
Viennoiserie, Pastries & Cookies
Viennoiserie refers to a class of baked items including the ever popular croissant, the majority of which achieve their delicacy and flakiness from a process called lamination. A warm milk dough is wrapped around a piece of butter and then repeatedly folded, rolled and chilled until a minimum of a hundred layers of dough and butter are formed. When popped into a hot oven, the liquid in the butter between the layers evaporates and the shaped dough puffs up creating a light, tender pastry. We've been making our Viennoiserie pastry in the classic French manner for over 40 years. We use only pure, local butter and carefully layer the dough over 3 days, baking it fresh every day to create a variety of shapes and flavors. These include:
Croissant
Bear Claws
with almond filling
Pain au Chocolat
the traditional after school treat of French children
Danish Pastry
our style with combinations of fresh and whole fruits, cream cheese and almond paste
Cinnamon Guys
our original cinnamon and sugar treat
