Artisan Baking Process on Sun Street
Mixing and Autolyse
Flour and water rest during autolyse to hydrate gluten naturally, reducing the need for intensive mechanical mixing and supporting a smoother dough texture.
Bulk Fermentation and Folding
Controlled temperature and gentle stretch folds build structure while developing complex aroma and flavor that deepen over several hours.
Shaping and Proofing
Shapers create taught surface tension, and proofing continues at cool room temperature or in refrigeration to refine flavor and improve oven spring.
Sourcing and Sustainability Practices
Local Grain Partnerships
Sun Street Breads works with regional farms to secure heritage wheat varieties, supporting soil health and reducing transportation footprint.
Eco Friendly Packaging
Compostable bags and recycled paper reduce waste, while reusable cloth scoring ties minimize single use materials in daily operations.
