Though I generally stay in the cupcake lane, I’m pleased to investigate the savory side of life. Having visited some of the leading bread bakeries in the country, I’m using today’s National Sourdough Bread Day as an excuse to publish my research. These may or may not meet the technical definition of sourdough. It doesn’t matter to me, since my agenda is just about tasting the best of the best.
Here’s a better look.
I visited a New York legend.
Mark Furstenberg is considered the godfather of modern D.C. bread.
He influenced and supported the impassioned couple behind Seylou, a new D.C. bakery with its own on-site mill.
These are some of the grains Seylou uses and the local farmer who grows them.
The Seylou mill itself is pictured in my Eater DC story. Bread for the win, people.
