While Lakewinds Minnetonka has a wood fire oven for pizza, the Chanhassen store has its own Bakehouse, now supplying fresh bread to all three of our locations. “These ovens are beautiful,” says Baker Nate Spitzer. “Our primary bread oven was imported from France and has a wonderful stone hearth and steamer, perfect for making bread with a crispy crust and soft interior. ”

The Bakehouse breads are not meant to have a long shelf life; no preservatives are used. To maintain quality, most are shelved without being wrapped or bagged in plastic. These breads are best after they’ve cooled a bit, then eaten before the day is out. “Many people tell us that they’ve enjoyed our bread over the course of a day or two, but to really get the peak of flavor and freshness you should eat them on the day they’re baked,” Nate explains. “We also prefer to not pre-slice our sandwich breads, as bread keeps better when it’s left whole. We do have a slicer, though, and would be happy to run a loaf through at your request.” “By the way,” he adds, “we also offer absolutely delicious cinnamon sticks and cinnamon rolls.”
