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

  • CiabattaFlat, rustic Italian loaf from a very wet dough, with a thin, crisp crust and large irregular holes ideal for sandwiches.
  • 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.

Enriched breads

  • 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.
  • Cinnamon swirl loafSoft sandwich bread rolled with a ribbon of cinnamon sugar, giving a spiraled slice that toasts beautifully.
