BakeryScratch-Baked Throughout the Day
When you walk into the Bakery section at Central Market, the smell usually hits you first - that wonderful and unmistakable aroma of homemade bread, fresh from the oven. We follow Old World recipes and techniques to create more than 70 varieties of dense, European-style breads, crusty French breads and assorted other specialty breads like scones and kolaches. All are made from scratch right here on the premises, with loving care by our expert bakers.
Artisan Breads
Many of our breads fall under the "artisan" category. This means that we start with living, breathing natural yeasts (called "starters"), mix the dough and shape it by hand for a full flavor and firm texture. Though we follow tried-and-true recipes, each loaf ends up with its own unique characteristics.
Sweet Treats
In addition to breads, our bakers work round the clock, creating cakes, pies, tarts and other sweet goods for our shelves and for our Chef's Case, Catering department and cafes. Stop by our Bakery counter for individual pastries, cookies, tartlets and brownies. Let us customize a cake for you (24 hours advance notice required) or personalize your favorite cake from our Bakery case anytime.
