What Makes Pleasanton Brick Oven Breads So Unique?
We Light a Fire
Our wood-fired brick oven is the ideal environment for baking bread. The brick oven chamber is fired up many hours before the actual baking. After the coals have turned to ash the hearth is carefully swept and mopped. Hand-shaped loaves are then loaded into the oven with a long baker’s paddle known as a “peel.” Before the oven is sealed, water is sprayed into it for a steamy bake.
We Use Natural Leaven
Time plays an essential role in making Pleasanton Bakery breads so special. We use a natural leavening process which allows the dough to rise slowly. Natural leavening breaks down the indigestible components of grains known as phytic acids, therefore enabling our bodies to maximize the nutritious nature of our bread. This process develops the full flavor of the whole grains without using sweeteners, oils, preservatives, or baker’s yeast.
We Use Michigan-grown Organic Grains
Our desire to connect you with local organic farmers inspires us to use many organic Michigan-grown grains. We are committed to bringing you the highest quality organic ingredients in order to sustain our environment for future generations.
