Full menu

Sourdough loaves

  • Rye sourdoughTangy loaf made with a good portion of rye flour, darker and more aromatic, with a moist, slightly sticky crumb.
  • Kalamata olive sourdoughCountry sourdough studded with briny Kalamata olives and a hint of herbs; savory enough to eat with nothing but olive oil.
  • Jalapeño cheddar sourdoughSourdough folded with sharp cheddar cubes and diced jalapeño, so melted cheese pockets crisp against the crust.
  • Cranberry walnut sourdoughSourdough studded with tart dried cranberries and toasted walnuts; a fruity, nutty loaf for cheese boards and toast.

French & Italian breads

  • ÉpiBaguette dough snipped into a wheat-stalk shape so each section tears off as a crusty individual roll.
  • FougasseLeaf-shaped Provençal flatbread with cut-out openings, often flavored with herbs or olives, crusty all over.
  • BaguetteLong, slender French loaf with a crackling, deeply browned crust and a light, cream-colored crumb; best on the day it's baked.
  • CiabattaFlat, rustic Italian loaf from a very wet dough, with a thin, crisp crust and large irregular holes ideal for sandwiches.

Enriched breads

  • PanettoneTall Italian holiday bread with candied orange, lemon peel and raisins, naturally leavened for a light, airy texture.
  • Brioche loafRich French loaf made with plenty of butter and eggs, feathery and golden inside; excellent for French toast.
  • Braided challahSix-strand braided loaf enriched with eggs and oil, with a lacquered crust and soft, pull-apart crumb.
  • Japanese milk breadUltra-soft, fluffy sandwich loaf made with a cooked flour paste, staying moist and springy for days.
