Our Artisan Secret Behind ACE Bakery®'s Success

Time: The Essence of Our

Artisanal Perfection

In the world of bread, patience is rewarded. Our bread-making process spans 16 to 48 hours, a testament to our commitment to excellence. We cherish time as our most essential ingredient, ensuring each loaf embodies the depth of flavor and texture only achievable through this meticulous slow fermentation. At ACE Bakery®, haste is never an option.

Simple Ingredients, Uncompromised Quality

Back to basics, forward in taste. Our philosophy is simple: if you can't pronounce it, it doesn't belong in our bread. Flour, water, salt, yeast — these fundamental, pronounceable ingredients form the cornerstone of our breads. Our commitment is to purity and authenticity, delivering bread that's as wholesome as it is delicious.

The Living Legacy

Of Our Starters

Within our bakery lies the heart of our artisan craft: our cherished starter doughs, or ‘Mothers.’ These living cultures, some originating from Europe and nurtured for over 70 years, are meticulously cared for by our dedicated bakers. Through precise temperature control and unwavering attention, even during holidays and power outages, we preserve their vibrant legacy. It’s this devotion that imbues our bread with its unparalleled flavor and texture.

The Art of

Stone Baking

True to tradition our breads are baked on stone, for its unmatched ability to distribute heat evenly. This age-old technique ensures our breads boast a distinctive flat, floury bottom, a golden, crisp crust, and a perfectly uniform bake. It’s the hallmark of ACE Bakery® bread — a fusion of art, science, and passion.

“Compromising will never be an option.”
