Full menu

Sourdough loaves

Country sourdoughLong-fermented loaf of wheat flour, water, salt and wild starter, with a crackling crust and open, glossy, mildly tangy crumb.
Whole wheat sourdoughSourdough made with a high share of stone-milled whole wheat, giving a denser crumb and a sweet, toasty grain flavor.
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.

French & Italian breads

Rosemary focacciaDimpled, olive oil–soaked flatbread topped with fresh rosemary and flaky salt; crisp underneath and pillowy inside.
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.

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.
