How does La Brea Bakery par-bake its breads?
To begin, bakers mix the dough using the very same starter that went into the first loaves of La Brea Bakery bread in 1989. After kneading the dough by hand, they mold each individual loaf and place it in the oven to bake until 80% done. Using proprietary equipment, the loaves are frozen to retain flavor and texture, and sent to their final destination where they are finished.
