German Bauernbrot
A thick-crusted, caraway-scented farmhouse loaf that marries rye's earthy depth with wheat's reliable structure. This is the bread that sustained German farming families for centuries, and it belongs on your table too.

German Christmas Stollen
A magnificent yeasted loaf studded with rum-soaked fruits and hiding a ribbon of marzipan at its heart, bathed in melted butter and blanketed in powdered sugar until it resembles a snow-covered mountain.

Gianniotiki Frantzola (Γιαννιώτικη Φραντζόλα)
Gianniotiki frantzola is Ioannina's everyday white loaf: long, lean, and firm enough for cheese, olives, and soup, with a crust that crackles because the oven begins wet and hot.
Chef Graziella

Grilled Pizza Dough
Supple, high-hydration dough stretched thin and kissed by live fire, producing the leopard-spotted char and smoky complexity that no kitchen oven can replicate. This is summer pizza.
Chef Dean
Grilled Sourdough Flatbread
Rustic sourdough rounds kissed by open flame, their blistered surfaces crackling with char while the tangy crumb stays tender within. This is bread the way fire intended it.
Chef Graziella
