Artisan Baking at Grand Central Bakery

Grand Central Rustic Breads are created in the style of European country breads and baked to a crusty perfection in our hearth ovens. They owe their unique flavor and texture to the use of natural starters, minimal yeast, and a long, slow rise. Baked fresh each day, Grand Central loaves are perfect as table bread, sliced for sandwiches, or toasted for the next day's breakfast.

Calamata Olive
A sourdough studded with Calamata olives and fresh rosemary, this loaf compliments hearty tomato based pasta dishes. With a substantial golden crust and open, moist interior, Grand Central's Olive loaf has become our most popular specialty bread.

Campagnolo
Dark, moist and mildly sweet, the Campagnolo contains coarse wheat and rye flours combined with an eight-grain cereal. This hearty loaf is great for sandwiches.

Challah- A popular Jewish braided bread baked on Fridays for the Sabbath, our Challah is a rich, honey-sweetened loaf that is perfect for breakfast. 

Ciabatta
Grand Central's Ciabatta features a tender, porous interior surrounded by a crisp, floury crust. The open interior and nutty flavor make it a great table bread, perfect for sopping up the last bits of a delicious sauce.

Como Loaf
As one of the Northwest's original artisan loaves, Grand Central's Como fueled a bread revolution in Seattle back in 1989. Now a daily staple in many homes and restaurants, Grand Central's Como is our most versatile rustic bread. Perfect either as table bread or sliced for sandwiches, the Como is an Italian-style white with a golden, nutty crust and chewy interior.

Grand Central Sourdough
This loaf features a chewy interior honeycombed with irregular holes surrounded by a crisp crust. Sourdough is great with a hearty stew or a thick chop, and makes a great tuna sandwich.

Peasant Levain
A high percentage of whole grain flour combined with the beautiful dark crust lends the Peasant Levain an earthy, complex flavor and aroma that complements a wide range of foods. Naturally leavened, the interior is open, moist and perfectly sour. Its incredible keeping qualities make it perfect to use for several days as table bread and then toast!

Petite Baguette 
Grand Central's take on a classic French baguette, with a thin crust, open crumb and a delicious nutty flavor.

Rustic Baguette
A bit of malt adds a wonderful nutty flavor to this hand-formed baguette. Dipped in olive oil or slathered with butter the baguette is classic table bread delicious with any meal. The Rustic Baguette's crisp crust holds up perfectly for fondue and French Dip sandwiches.

Seeded Pico
This tasty baguette is rolled in a combination of sesame and poppy seeds with a smattering of fennel seeds.

Deli Rye

Marble Rye
Our take on an old deli classic - we've rolled our Pallone dough with an East Coast-style rye, complete with toasted caraway seeds.
