The Continental Breads‎

The breads of The Continental Bakery are works of art. Our loaves are prepared daily from scratch by artisan bakers who really care about good bread & who rely on the most traditional European methods. The Continental bakery itself is like a medieval shop, where handwork & skill come together w/ attention to detail & natural ingredients to make the most authentic European breads in the southeast. Many of our French customers have marveled at the historical authenticity of our baguettes, reminiscing about breads from their own childhoods in the French countryside. Nowhere else will you find such extensive use of natural starters, natural methods, & freedom from unnecessary additives & artificial dough "enhancers." All of our breads are shaped by hand & baked on a stone hearth. A loaf of Continental bread is a true masterpiece. The flavors, fragrance & rustic appearance will transport you to another time & place, where people truly care about quality & craftsmanship.

French Breads‎

French Bagguette

This signature bread of the Continental Bakery has been one of our specialties since 1984. When compared w/ the modern Parisian baguette, this loaf is a bit more substantial, w/ a denser, more flavorful crumb & a chewier crust. Also available in Ficelle, Peasant, Boule, Sandwich or Rolls.
$0.00

Wild Yeast Starter Breads‎

Wild Yeast Sourdough (Pain de Campagne)

Another Continental Bakery signature bread, unique in the southeast & inspired by the breads of the famous Parisian baker, Lionel Poilane. It gets a long, slow, cool rise, is leavened w/ a natural, 20-year old, wild yeast starter that took over a year to develop, & is baked directly on the floor of a stone hearth oven. Available in the traditional 4½ pound loaf of the French countryside. We will gladly cut any whole loaf into halves or quarters.
$0.00

White Wild Yeast Sourdough

Also made w/ a wild yeast starter & given a long slow cool rise & baked on a stone hearth. However, this bread is made without the addition of whole wheat flour. Available in a two-pound loaf, though we will gladly cut any loaf in half.
$0.00

Italian Ciabatta

This bread is made w/ an Italian style biga starter, & has an airy, open crumb w/ a delicate crackly crust. Jewish Style Sour Rye A deli style rye, made w/ an onion & caraway starter.
$0.00

Olive Sourdough

We pit imported black & green queen colossal olives & add them to the white wild yeast sourdough. This is one of our most requested breads. Wheatberry Sunflower Bread Cracked kernels of wheat & sunflower seeds in a sourdough based bread.
$0.00

Pain aux Noix (Walnut Bread)

Walnut breads are traditional complements to cheeses & serve to clear the palate for wine tasting. Ours includes both whole & ground roasted walnuts to fully infuse the bread w/ a rich walnut flavor.
$0.00

Pecan Raisin Bread

A levain based bread full of raisins & pecans.
$0.00

Callebaut Belgian Chocolate & Cherries

Take imported dark Belgian chocolate & add a heaping scoop of tart Bing Cherries, bake them into a rustic loaf that has been given the precious time it needs to rise & attain culinary perfection!
$0.00

Four Seeded Bread

Equal amounts of golden flax seeds, toasted sesame seeds, toasted sunflower seeds & poppy seeds are added to a natural levain to create a delicious healthy treat.
$0.00

Traditional Yeasted Breads‎

Bagels

Hand rolled bagels taste better. We also use the traditional method of kettle boiling rather than oven-steaming this low fat, chewy bread.
$0.00

Butterflake rolls

A traditional southern favorite, first introduced to us by Robert Pickens, a baker from the old Waite's Bakery.
$0.00

Challah

Rabbi‎ Scott's mother-in-law's recipe. Sweet, egg-rich, festive bread, originally baked by Jewish families to grace the Sabbath or holiday table.
