Fresh, whole grain breads baked from scratch are available to you directly from our ovens. Our specialty breads contain whole grains milled fresh each day on the stone mill in our bakery. We use this freshly stone ground whole grain flour to make incredibly tasty breads full of fresh, natural nutrition.

Founding The Breadery

After many years of whole grain research, Michael Lanasa founded The Breadery in 1996 and dedicated it to producing fresh, whole grain breads without chemical additives or preservatives. Many chronic health problems are alleviated with high fiber, fresh, nutritious foods. Since grain products are the "staff of life", our fresh, stone ground, whole grain breads play a major role in a healthy diet.

Creating Our Breads

The first step in our baking process involves selecting the highest quality, most nutritious grains available. For high mineral content, our red and white wheat is grown in nutrient rich soil at high altitude in Montana.
	The next step is milling the flour. Each morning at our bakery, the wheat and grain seeds are stone ground into flour. Utilizing the entire seed, i.e., wheat germ, bran, and endosperm, this process sets our breads apart from many traditional grocery store brands. Our hearty stone ground flour gives our bread both its distinctive freshness and high nutritional content.
Next ingredients are mixed to form the bread dough, which rises three to four hours using the "olde world" double fermentation technique. The loaves are put into a proofing area, which is a warm, moist environment for the bread to rise. Much of this process is done by hand, giving our breads a unique homemade taste.

The breads are baked and placed on cooling racks for one to two hours. Our long, slow method of making bread enhances the flavor by enabling the optimal blending of ingredients, producing the most moist, delicious and nutritious bread available.

Our breads are made with the finest and freshest possible ingredients. These fresh breads are packaged immediately for delivery to your home or business. Due to their fresh, high fiber ingredients, these breads have a long shelf life and freeze very well. Breads stay fresh for five to seven days at room temperature and due to their fresh-milled, high fiber ingredients may be frozen up to 60 days.

Most of our breads contain no free oils, no cholesterol. Most meets the dietary needs of vegetarians and vegans. Our breads contain no trans fats, dyes, chemicals or preservatives!
