SOURDOUGH
Sourdough loaves are risen using a natural leaven derived from the fermentation of flour and water. This process results in a mildly sour taste due to the lactic acid produced by the lactobacilli in the leaven.
SESAME-CRUSTED SOURDOUGH
Crunchy smokiness from charred sesame seeds. Like our other loaves, these are hand shaped and proofed in bannetons for up to 14 hours before they are baked in a piping-hot steam injected deck oven.
CIABATTA
Hand-formed and proofed on a linen couche, the ciabatta is a rustic Italian white bread. Historically the Italian's answer to the French baguette, a crisp crust and porous soft crumb makes this their "go-to" bread for a light and satisfying sandwich.
SEED AND GRAIN SOURDOUGH
Healthful and packed with nutrients from sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds and millet
WALNUT & CRANBERRY SOURDOUGH
A classic pairing of tangy cranberries and rich toasted walnuts
RYE AND CARAWAY
There are many benefits to rye flour, it lowers insulin response and satisfies hunger for a longer period of time due to its high fibre content
BAGUETTE
A loaf which needs no introduction, the Baguette is the quintessential symbol of French culture. At BEAU we make ours with pre-ferment or "poolish" and sourdough leaven to increase its flavor complexity and produce an off-white, aerated crumb.
DEMI-BAGUETTE
We hand-shape all of our baguettes and score using a lame before loading them into a steam-injected deck oven. The steam allows the crust to expand before setting, thus creating a lighter, airier loaf.
PRETZEL ROLLS
Dating back to the 12th century, the pretzel is a traditional German lye bread. The process of which they are dipped in lye or sodium bicarbonate solution prior to baking gives them their characteristic "skin" layer and distinctive flavor. However, deviating from the traditional "loop", at BEAU we shape our pretzels for optimum sandwich applications.
BLACK SESAME BAGEL
A New Yorker's breakfast staple, the bagel is an indispensable fuel for people on the go. True to Jewish tradition, it is hand formed, proofed and boiled for a short time before it is baked. Its unique method of preparation results in its chewy texture and crisp outer crust. Usually enjoyed with smoked salmon and generous lashings of cream cheese, the bagel truly is simplicity embodied.

FOUGASSE

POPPY SEED FOUGASSE

FOCACCIA
Focaccia is a type of Italian flatbread. It is soft and fruity from the liberal use of olive oil during proofing and baking. The craters on the crust result through the process of "docking" in which multiple wells are made using tips of fingers on the unbaked dough. Usually topped with herbs and a sprinkling of salt, it is great as an accompaniment to antipasti or split in half for sandwiches. It's a versatile, fragrant and undoubtedly flavorful bread.
