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.
