Traditional Breads
The basis of our baking techniques is the respect of the French tradition that has been passed on for generations. We prefer the method that champions a delicate balance of short mixing and slow fermentation alternated with a gentle manual touch to provide the perfect finish of a premier loaf of bread.
We incorporate our own cultured levain at different levels in all our breads to offer an intricate blend of the wheat flavor mixed with the complex aromas of natural fermentation.
Trademark of Flavor - Miche Banal™
Our signature bread, created with Shepard's Grain whole wheat flour, milled in-house, and our natural levain starter. Dense, rich and full of terroir flavor.
Here at St. Honoré bakery, Dominique has created Miche Banal™, a bread that can retrace the heritage of baking to the feudal era. French peasants ground their wheat and baked their bread in facilities provided by the manor Lord. In exchange for this service, they paid a tax called Ban, which became Four Banal, a commonly used name for the bread oven. Dominique mills his flour in-house from Northwest-grown wheat berries and then the bread is baked in a natural clay firebrick oven. Our Natural Flour is Food Alliance Approved.
