BREAD AND SWEETS
All our Whole Wheat breads are made with flour we mill fresh each day, and none of our products contain High Fructose Corn Syrup. Complete ingredient labels will allow you to check all ingredients, and we will be very pleased to answer your questions any time about what goes in to our breads. All our breads this month except Rye (Molasses), Brioche (Cane Sugar) and Lemon Sunburst (Cane Sugar) are sweetened with honey. Our Rye breads are Vegan with no egg wash. Cedar River Sourdough is unsweetened entirely and is also Vegan as are our Baguettes and French bread. Please keep giving us your input about dietary preferences so that we can make informed menu choices in the future. Any of our breads like Dakota or High 5 Fiber that are topped with seeds or grain or flour instead of a shiny top are free of Eggs but do usually contain Honey. Stop by any time or phone to discuss this with Dion, Laurel, Mark or Rosslyn. In the meantime, please check back with us here every month as we highlight new breads being introduced. Our menu will be changing often. The following is the January Menu. Breads in bold below can be sliced for your sandwich.

OUR FAVORITE BREADS:
Honey Whole Wheat
Our signature and most popular bread is a perfect blend of five pure ingredients – freshly ground, flavor-rich, 100% whole wheat flour, pure honey, filtered water, salt, and yeast.
Dakota
Sunflower, pumpkin, and sesame seeds are generously kneaded into our honey whole wheat dough for a crunchy, hearty, and flavourful bread.
Cinnamon Chip
Enjoy the sweet goodness of cinnamon chips in every bite. Flour, cinnamon chips, honey, and ground cinnamon. Makes a heavenly French toast.
King Cakes Fridays between Epiphany (January 6) and Mardigras (This year March 4)
We love to bring this deluxe recipe for King Cakes sourced at a Great Harvest in New Orleans to Cedar Rapids every year. This version has a Cream Cheese and Pecan filling, but please do ask about a nut free version. We are happy to help! We will make a few each week starting Friday, January 10 until Mardigras. Please do call and pre-order. Stop in and taste for yourself and decide if you'd like to have a little party and see who gets the baby in their slice and traditionally brings the King Cake to the next party during the season!
Cheddar Garlic!
After a month off, this soft white cheesy scrumptious loaf is back to help us enjoy our cool month weekends. Stop by and taste it next Friday. You will want to buy a loaf. We also make a limited number of hamburger buns each week, but you may pre-order. These will make an easy and delicious dinner any time or a phenomenal breakfast sandwich! Call by Thursday to pre-order to be sure we don't run out of buns before you get in on Friday.
Jalapeno Cheddar Sourdough Swirl, made most days at the bakery in limited quantities, is a savory treat with a bit of a bite for those of you who enjoy the taste of Jalapenos. It's not overwhelmingly spicy and is delightful with a spread of jam as well as just as a savory treat. Come and pick up a loaf!
Friday is Rye Day at the Bakery
We trade off between Pumpernickel and American Rye recipes, changing it up every month. Call ahead to be sure of a loaf on Friday. These are delicious traditional Caraway Rye breads!
Baked Potato
The last Friday this month we will bring back Baked Potato! Don't miss this lovely savory bread. Maybe plan ahead for an easy dinner of Grilled Cheese for January 31st!
