We love real bread. It tastes
great! Real bread is made from scratch, by hand, without chemicals to speed up
the process or preservatives. It is sold the day it is made.
In a mass produced, highly processed, and impersonal modern food world,
we are different. Our bread takes
time to make—from gathering ingredients from the best suppliers, local
producers whenever possible, making each dough from scratch, kneading each
roll and loaf by hand, giving bread all the time it needs to rise and baking
it to perfection.
Where did we get the idea to make traditional European and hearty
American style breads? We grew up in European households.
Sabine lived in
Italy
for six years and her parents emigrated from
Germany
. Ginius’ parents emigrated from
Lithuania
. We grew up spending Saturdays with our parents, traveling far and wide,
finding fresh healthy foods direct from local farms, enjoying fresh breads,
and taking pleasure in baked goods created in the
Old World
style.
Inspired by childhood experiences, Ginius, a computer
professional, and Sabine, an art historian became bakers, opening Breadsmith
in 2003. Located in a thriving,
residential area in
Lakewood
Ohio
,
our bakery is in the tradition of European Bakers specializing in crusty
European-style breads, and hearty American breads made fresh from scratch
daily.
“We are on a mission to show people what
a truly great experience they can have with bread.
We not only hand-craft every loaf, but we create and bake in a
time-honored, traditional way right here on the premises, using only the
highest quality ingredients, without additives or preservatives.”
Breadsmith is more than a bakery.
In addition to making great tasting, healthy bread our mission is to be
a good neighbor. “We want to be a part of the community, serve the people,
including those who are less fortunate and provide a fun, warm atmosphere in
our store”. Towards this goal, the bakery holds fundraisers for local
organizations, supports community organizations and donates the left over
bread from each day to various food banks and kitchens for the less fortunate.
Enjoy Great Bread
