Artisanal breads

Sizes range from 1 to 1ū lbs., depending on variety. These are all round or free-form shapes. Prices start at $3.00.

Baguettes -- Our most popular bread, it's crusty outside, holey inside, the perfect partner for dipping oils, or subs. Available in white or light wheat.

Ciabatta -- Italian "slipper bread" is a free-form lean loaf.  You really should see it made...it's a mess!  But the wet dough and poolish starter make a coarse, moist loaf with a chewy crust that begs for dipping or vinaigrette-sauced sandwiches like pain bagnat.

Focaccia -- Loaded with roasted garlic, basil and plenty of olive oil, this Italian flatbread is topped with dried tomatoes, Kalamata olives, mozzarella and provolone, or dried tomatoes,  feta cheese and sauteed mushrooms.  Sold by the piece (about 4"x6"), or you can order a whole pan (about 17"x12"). Other toppings also available: chevre and sweet onions, marinated artichokes and chevre, sweet peppers and onions, etc.

Brioche -- Rich egg and butter dough made into petite brioches ā tęte.

Pain de Campagne -- Round peasant loaf with a little rye and some wheat flour. A simple bread that's good for mopping up soups and sauces.

Raisin-Walnut -- Round wheat loaf studded with raisins and walnuts, sweetened with honey and cinnamon. Try it for a new taste in French toast.

Herbs & Cheese -- Light wheat batard full of caramelized onions, Italian herbs, garlic, olive oil and Parmesan cheese, or a mozzarella & provolone blend. Spread it with cream cheese and garlic-onion jam for Sunday morning brunch.

Olive-Sundried Tomato-Rosemary -- Briny olives, sundried tomatoes and rosemary are marinated in olive oil, then added to a simple dough.

Onion-Dill Rye -- Light rye batard with chopped onions and fresh dill.

Jalapeņo-Cheese -- A batard spiced up with chopped jalapeņos and a blend of cheeses. A little cornmeal complements the peppers.

Bleu Cheese-Walnut  -- We make a light wheat dough with toasted walnuts, roll it up with crumbled bleu cheese and form it into a fat batard.  Great complement to grilled steaks and salads.

Swedish Limpa Rye -- Round loaf of rye made with Amber Bock beer, anise seed, cardamom, and orange peel. Can you smell it already?

Whole Wheat with Walnuts -- A big round loaf of our whole wheat dough, with toasted walnuts.

Walnut-Onion -- Admittedly this seems like a strange pairing, but it's a wonderfully fragrant round loaf, filled with walnuts and red onions and made tender with milk and olive oil. Great for a roast beef sandwich.

Challah -- Traditional braided loaf.  Special order.
