Company Description:

Bon Breads observes artisanal baking practices that are several times more involved and complex than conventional bakeries. Each of Bon Breads’ products is composed of the most high-quality ingredients and developed from a recipe personally developed by Pereira. Most importantly, everything at Bon Breads is custom-made to order.

Whereas other bakeries may take just three hours from start to finish producing their breads, Bon Breads’ process takes anywhere from 24 to 48 hours to complete. (Clients are requested to keep this time requirement in mind when placing new orders.)

It all begins with an exceptionally high-quality wild yeast starter from France, which is reputed to be nearly 100 years old. After being “fed” water and flour, the starter is allowed to ferment for as long as 24 hours. Next, the starter is incorporated into the recipe, each of which features a wholesome foundation composed of unbleached white, whole wheat or rye flour, salt and water. Prior to baking, the dough is shaped and allowed to rest and rise in a 45-degree holding area for 12 to 18 hours. This lengthy procedure produces bread with a richer taste and more redolent aroma than the bread made in today’s more conventional bakeries.
