About Us

The Rustic Loaf began on our first visit to Europe in 2001. A family of four has to find cheap and quick meals, and our default became the nearest market where we would buy cucumbers, tomatoes, cheese, and a loaf of locally baked bread. Thick, hearty crusts, meaty, flavor-filled bread that left a person feeling satisfied. A savory experience for the mouth. Never again would a loaf of factory-processed, preservative-laced bread be the same.
With a longing for this same delicious bread at home, Mike researched, mixed, baked, tweaked and tested. He has developed what we find to be a satisfying recipe meeting the high standards of taste and texture found in artisan breads of Europe.
