Full menu

Sourdough loaves

  • Seeded sourdoughSourdough loaded with sesame, flax, sunflower and pumpkin seeds inside and out, so every slice toasts up crunchy.
  • 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.

French & Italian breads

  • Pain de campagneFrench country loaf blending white, whole wheat and rye flours for a rustic, slightly sour flavor and chewy crumb.
  • 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.

Enriched breads

  • 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.
  • Cinnamon swirl loafSoft sandwich bread rolled with a ribbon of cinnamon sugar, giving a spiraled slice that toasts beautifully.
  • Chocolate babkaTwisted yeast loaf layered with chocolate filling and crumb topping, dense and rich with visible swirls.
