Our Bread

We bake our bread at our wholesale bakery in the heart of the West Side, where our sourdough culture has been thriving since 2014. We're proud to feature regional grain, local produce, and artisan techniques in our bread production. All of our bread and bagels are sourdough, long ferment and vegan. We are proud to use Farmer Ground Flour grown and milled in the Finger Lakes region of New York as well as King Arthur commercial bread flour. None of our flour is bleached or bromated.

West Side Sourdough

This is our bestselling loaf, the bread that has kept us in business for over a decade. The sour flavor isn’t too sour, the loaf isn’t too large, the crust isn’t too hard, the list goes on and on. The shelf life is allegedly good, but we go through it too quickly to know. Flour content: King Arthur Special Patent bread flour, Farmer Ground all purpose organic wheat flour, Farmer Ground organic whole rye flour

Pain Rustique

Meet our extra large, extra crispy crust, extra airy interior, artisan style sourdough. Many of our bakers’ favorite loaf, it features a surprising percentage of whole wheat flour for such an open crumb bread. Flour content: King Arthur Special Patent bread flour, Farmer Ground high extraction organic wheat flour, Farmer Ground organic whole wheat flour

Deli Rye

A classic old school caraway rye baked in a loaf pan for ideal toast shape, this is the bread people stop us in the Lexington Co-op parking lot to compliment while we’re delivering. Makes a delightful grilled cheese. Flour content: King Arthur Special Patent bread flour, Farmer Ground all purpose organic wheat flour, Farmer Ground organic whole rye flour

Sesame Semolina

Featuring toasted sesame seeds inside and outside, this bread features a hefty amount of semolina flour which gives it a golden color crumb and rich, satisfying flavor. If someone’s looking for Italian bread, this is the bread we send them to! Flour content: King Arthur Special Patent bread flour, semolina (durum) flour

Toasted Oat & Maple

The newest member of our regular lineup, this extra large loaf features the subtle sweetness of maple syrup paired with the smooth richness of toasted oats folded into the dough and covering the crust. Flour content: King Arthur Special Patent bread flour, Farmer Ground high extraction organic wheat flour, Farmer Ground organic whole spelt flour

Baguettes

Our baguettes are rolled by hand every morning for the freshest, crispiest crust possible. Favorite bread of people with taste, French transplants, children and cats. They’re perfect for sandwiches, cheese plates, or just eating on your walk home. Flour content: King Arthur Sir Galahad bread flour, Farmer Ground organic whole spelt flour.

Bagels

Our sourdough bagels are completely unique style: not New York, not Montreal, strictly Buffalo baby! They’re rolled, boiled, dipped and baked by hand.

If you're interested in bread baking, we can recommend a few resources for getting started! First, pass the point of no return by making Jim Lahey's legendary No Knead Bread. Known as the bible for bread, Bread by Jeffrey Hamelman is a complete resource for anyone interested in expanding their understanding of how bread works, plus rock solid formulas (and he is super nice.) The Handmade Loaf by Dan Lepard is full of funky Euro recipes using a very cool technique – it includes the inspiration for our pickle brine rye – plus the most mouthwatering photography of any bread book ever. If you're looking for one highly-involved levain method that if followed meticulously will yield the best loaf ever baked at your house, turn to Chad Robertson's Tartine Bread. (Try to find it second hand if you can!)

And yes, we sell our sourdough starter! Our mother culture is about to turn 10 years old and has been thriving on West Side Buffalo wild yeast since before we opened. We love baking with it and you just might too.
