Brioche
Our Brioche is a light but rich bread. The crust is glazed before baking and turns a deep golden brown. The crumb is delicate and pale yellow in color.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau, in his 1783 autobiography Confessions, relates that “a great princess” is said to have advised, with regard to starving peasants, “S’ils n’ont plus de pain, qu’ils mangent de la brioche,” commonly translated as “If they have no bread, let them eat cake.”

Our Ciabatta undergoes a longer process of fermentation which produces a rich, textured crust. Its crumb is feathery light.
In the Italian language, ciabatta means “slipper”. The ciabatta loaf is elongated and rectangular in shape. When made with whole wheat flour, it is known as ciabatta integrale. When milk is added to the dough, it becomes ciabatta latte. A toasted sandwich made from small loaves of ciabatta is known as a panino (plural panini).

French
Lyon Bakery’s French bread is a versatile classic. Non-specific to any dish, our French is a great accompaniment to every meal—from breakfast through to dinner.
The most distinctive French bread, loved the world over, is without doubt the Baguette—a descendant of the bread developed in Vienna in the mid-19th century when steam ovens were first brought into use, helping to make possible the crisp crust and the white crumb pitted with holes that still distinguish the modern baguette.
Long loaves had been made for some time but in October 1920 a law prevented bakers from working before 4am, making it impossible to make the traditional, often round, loaf in time for customers’ breakfasts. The slender baguette solved the problem because it could be prepared and baked much more rapidly. The French Baguette is famously prepared in Europe warm with ham and butter.

Rosemary
Rosemary has a very old reputation for improving memory, and has been used as a symbol for remembrance (as worn during weddings, war commemorations and funerals) in Europe, probably as a result of this reputation. In Shakespeare’s Hamlet, Ophelia says, “There’s rosemary, that’s for remembrance”.
Rosemary and its constituents, carnosol and ursolic acid, have been shown to inhibit the growth of skin tumors and to provide natural antioxidant protection against skin cancer and photo-damage.
Our rosemary is freshly chopped immediately before mixing into the dough thereby sealing in its delicious flavor.

Sourdough
Sourdough bread is made by using a small amount of “starter” dough, which has a yeast culture, and mixing it with new flour and water.
Part of this resulting dough is then saved to use as the starter next time. It is not uncommon to have a baker’s starter dough that carries years of history, from many hundreds of previous batches. As a result each bakery’s sourdough has a distinct taste. Sourdough was the main bread made in Northern California during the California Gold Rush, and it remains a major part of the culture of San Francisco. The bread became so common that sourdough became a general nickname for the gold prospectors. The nickname remains in Sourdough Sam, the mascot of the San Francisco 49ers.
