Do par-baked breads taste any different than bread that is shipped fully baked?

Par-baked breads taste just as good as La Brea Bakery’s breads that are delivered fully baked. This is because founder Nancy Silverton and bakers spent considerable time and energy perfecting a technique that ensures the inimitable flavor and texture of their award-winning bread is in every loaf. From the distinctive crust, to the airy and chewy body of the bread, the par-baked loaves feature the remarkable taste and texture of the conventionally baked breads. In fact, in a taste test conducted by the San Francisco Chronicle, La Brea Bakery’s par-baked baguette won over local, conventionally baked breads.
