ARTISAN BREAD
ents is quite extensive in terms of how you treat it, how
you process it, and how much preferment you are using.
Bread is beautiful in the sense you can create a lot of different
things with essentially the same four ingredients. "
Mr. Paterakis said the company has added some automation
to the process, including machines to pick up
bags of flour and dump them into mixers, but much of
the process will always remain the same.
" At the end of the day, everything is still touched and
shaped by hand, but there are certain aspects of the process
we have been able to add some automation and machinery
to assist in what would normally be a completely
manual, by-hand process, " he explained.
La Brea Bakery has been using the same signature
starter and foundational recipes since 1989, Ms. Prociv
said. At the same time, there has been innovation in artisan
breads including more shapes, sizes, flavors and formats,
including La Brea Bakery's Take and Bake line that
provides consumers fresh artisan bread at home. Even
so, she said the category has remained the same in terms
of the quality of ingredients, health benefits and ability
to upscale a meal at home.
" While the company has continually innovated over
the years, artisan traditions remain at the core of every
La Brea Bakery bread we bake, with most using just four
to five simple ingredients, " Ms. Prociv said. " We source
only the highest quality ingredients, and each bread
takes 24 hours to make. The equipment has gotten bigger
as the brand has grown, but the principles, process
and passion remain the same. "
Not only are artisan bread producers committed to
traditional production processes, but they are also committed
to their values. To this end, Chabaso recently became
a certified B Corp company as a way of codifying,
instilling and describing their culture, said CEO Charles
Negaro Jr. B Corporation certification aims to validate
and measure a company's positive impact on the environment,
employees, communities and more.
Scaling up craft baking
Producing artisan breads is by nature a time- and laborintensive
process, and challenges in producing these
products at scale include the use of preferment and the
care required in shaping products. Still, Mr. Paterakis
said these are challenges that can be solved.
" It just requires the right capital and engineering, but
no one wants to make those investments unless there are

Bottom: Partnering with local farmers and milling flour onsite is one
story artisan bakers can pursue as they aim to elevate their brands.
