The shop is the brain child of Al Jensen, an oceanographer-turned-baker with a penchant for incredible bread. After studying with a world renowned baker in Vermont, Jensen decided to put his baking skills to work and opened Serious Bread.

So just what makes the bread so good? According to Jensen, it’s the wholesome ingredients, like King Arthur flour.

It also has something to do with the technique used to make the bread. At Serious Bread, grains are soaked for up to 10 hours, which makes minerals and nutrients more available. The end result is healthy, easily digestible, and delicious loaves.
