TIME AS AN INGREDIENT
Slow is our secret
Time does what additives never can. Long cold proofs unlock natural sourdough flavour and an easier-to-digest loaf.
OUR STORY
Behind every early morning delivery is a bakery that believes good things take time. Welcome to Crumb & Copper Bakery.
French baking traditions,
shared with Toronto’s cafés and kitchens.



HOW IT STARTED
Crumb & Copper Bakery began with one stubborn sourdough starter, a small deck oven, and a belief that bread deserves time. Early starts, long fermentations, one more fold. That’s still how every loaf is made.
Today we bake for businesses that care about what lands on the plate. Nothing complicated. Nothing rushed. Just really good bread.
Bread shouldn’t be rushed. When you hear that crackle fresh out of the oven, that’s two days of patience speaking.
— Mara & the bakers
AROUND THE CLOCK
Follow the daily cycle of flour, water,
wild starter and stone deck fire.
Long before dawn we feed our mother starter with stoneground rye flour and pure spring water.
Wild ferment cultureNo industrial presses. Dough rests in wooden troughs and gets gentle folds to build an open, airy crumb.
100% hand foldedShaped loaves rest in wicker bannetons in a cool cellar, developing deep, gently sour sweetness.
Slow fermentationScored by hand and baked straight on the stone deck with steam for a blistered, crackling crust.
