George came to Seattle from San Francisco to pursue his passions of baking and playing bass guitar.

Frequently asked questions
Report
Bake bread for 12 to15 minutes for loaves, 6-8 minutes for demi baguettes - or until the crust is as you desire, and the center is soft and hot to the touch. Separate the halves and smooth the garlic parmesan spread evenly on both sides - it may stick to one side at first. Remove bread from package and discard oxygen absorber.

Our Essential FreshSeal packaging provides our authentic artisan bread with locked-in freshness for months, not days, so you can enjoy the highest quality bread on-demand with no freezing or preservatives.
