CERTIFIED BAKER RALPH MACIOCE
If you ask Ralph Macioce, he will tell you there is only one way to make the finest artisan breads in the true European tradition…go back to the basics.
While never using additives or preservatives, this talented baker uses only the freshest, purest flours available, while insisting on long, slow rising times of up to 24 hours. This allows the full character of the dough to develop as it marinates in the by-products of its own fermentation. Each loaf is hand-kneaded, then shaped and allowed to further develop for a final proofing period of up to one hour. Ralph's baking is done in a stone hearth oven, similar to those used thousand of years ago, and most of his breads are baked free-form, or directly on the stone hearth.
Passionate about his creations, Ralph has been baking breads since the age of 13. Having studied under a French Master Baker for three years, he also graduated at the top of his class from baking schools in Milwaukee and San Francisco.
While his traditional baking methods are slow and labor intensive, Ralph imparts the added human element crucial to achieving his goal of restoring bread baking to the high art form practiced by the original Art of Bread. The result is truly outstanding bread, second to none, which we believe you, our customer, deserves.
