Bread

Faubourg breads are baked using traditional French recipes born from culinary wisdom passed down through generations. Ingredients and timing have been perfected over the ages and today Faubourg continues the tradition through our process, which focuses on three pillars of quality:

Authenticity: Faubourg’s baguettes are baked according to tradition and following the official standard of a baguette as originally established by Parisian bakers. All of our products are additive-free and preservative-free and baked using the freshest ingredients of the finest quality.

Freshness: Our bread is baked throughout the day, ensuring the freshest bread for all our customers. Rather than a single daily baking, our bread is baked five times daily, at 8:00,10:00,11:00, 14:00 and 17:00. For added authenticity, our bread is baked in a five-deck oven specially imported from France – the only one of its kind in Canada.

Unique flavor: In keeping with tradition, Faubourg uses the autolyse process, a process in dough-making which allows the flour to soften, creating improved texture in the baked bread. Meanwhile, our levain, specially created for our use, produces the rich aroma associated with the finest breads.

All bread is available in rye, wheat or multi-grain.
