Question 1

Why does Bread & Bake use a pre-order model?

Accepted Answer

Our pre-order model ensures every loaf is baked fresh and tailored to your preferences. This approach helps us plan production responsibly, minimize food waste, and deliver the highest quality bread to our community.

Question 2

What kind of flour do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use whole-grain flours sourced from mills that follow regenerative farming practices.
These flours retain their natural nutrients and flavor, producing bread that’s both rich and authentic.

Question 3

Do you use additives or preservatives?

Accepted Answer

Never. All our products are made with simple, natural ingredients — flour, water, and salt — and are cold-fermented for up to 72 hours for depth of flavor and better texture.

Question 4

Are your sweet breads and cakes made with sugar?

Accepted Answer

No — our sweet and seasonal bakes are naturally sweetened with *panela and fruits, giving each product a gentle, authentic sweetness without refined sugar.

*Panela is a traditional unrefined cane sugar made by boiling sugarcane juice until it thickens and solidifies - no centrifuging, no refining, no additives. It maintains a natural molasses - like flavor.  Its flavor is warm, caramel-like, and slightly smoky.
