Why Fresh Bread from Bartholomew Bakery Should be Your Go-To Choice

Ever heard the phrase: “the best thing since sliced bread”? Well, visit Bartholomew Bakery, an amazing bread bakery in Vaughan, and it will bring new meaning to the phrase. 

While homemade bread has gotten a bad rap across social media platforms in the past for being considered a no-no diet food, it is actually one of the better foods to consume for your health. As a basic staple in homes across the world, bread was thought to be first introduced to tables more than 30,000 years ago in ancient Egypt.

Over the years bread has become a popular snack and meal accompaniment. To combine the traditional makings of bread with the zest for unique flavouring, the team at Bartholomew Bakery offers the purest and freshest bread varieties.

The Magic of Fresh Bread

There is nothing quite like the aroma of freshly baked bread. The only thing better is biting into the soft, gooey texture of fresh bread (#IYKYK). 

Bread is a valuable part of a well-balanced diet as it contains nutrients such as fibre, iron, Vitamin B, and carbohydrates which can help regulate blood sugar levels. Fresh bread can also be good for your mental health as the same carbohydrates that provide energy help to release serotonin which is our “happiness” neurotransmitter. 

The Bread-Making Process at Bartholomew Bakery

To understand the unique bread-making process at Bartholomew Bakery, it is important to learn more about the extensive experience our owners, Anthony Lavorato and Michael Sinikas, have. Both began their baking journeys as students and then as hands-on learners under some of the greatest pastry chefs in the world. 

They bring traditional baking methods to the bakery by creating artisanal bread with uncomplicated and natural ingredients (and with a lot of love). We use fresh resources from local suppliers to ensure the unique taste and texture of our breads are enjoyed in every bite. Time and patience are used as our sourdough is created over several days to allow for the natural leaven process. 

Our Variety of Fresh Breads

At Bartholomew Bakery, we offer a variety of artisanal bread on our menu to suit every palette. Our famous sourdough bread is available as a County White, Multigrain, Olive & Herb, and frozen as Roasted Garlic + Parmigiano bread. For special taste buds, try our Oat, Apple & Cinnamon loaf, Tomato & Roasted Garlic loaf, Jalapeño & Cheddar loaf, Crispy Salumi & Onion loaf, or our sweet Chocolate Mini-Egg sourdough. 

For “regular” bread lovers, we have Country White Pullman, Cheesy Poppyseed, and Polenta & Toasted Sunflower. All of our breads pair perfectly with soups and can be used to enhance your daily sandwich. 

Why Bartholomew Bakery Stands Out

We are true artisan bread makers dedicated to sharing the authentic European café experience in our Vaughan bakery. We use only the freshest, natural ingredients to capture the mouth-watering texture of the tradition of bread making. 

All of our baked goods are handcrafted to enhance the traditional taste of homemade breads, pies, and pastries. With our years of experience travelling the globe learning from the best pastry chefs, we are dedicated to sharing our skills and passion for European baking with you!

Testimonials from Happy Customers

Tiffany W.

“This has got to be one of the best bakeries in the province if not the country. Tucked away in a commercial area, Bartholomew Bakery has talented chefs serving up freshly made artisanal bread and pastries using great quality ingredients and excellent technique.

What we ordered:
* Butter croissant
* Parm/Garlic/Herb Braid
* Coffee canelé
* Twice baked almond croissant
* Espresso filled croissant

Everything we tried was perfect in terms of flavour and texture. Their croissants are laminated beautifully and have a perfect structure. Their changing weekly menu offers a good range of classic and more unique items and they have some really interesting sweet and savoury pie creations.”

“I like to review only after I’ve been a few times so this review is WAY overdue. Moving takes away all the comforts of home so it was much to my delight to literally stumble upon this slice of heaven! You can smell the incredible pastries from down the road just follow your nose. I like to say walking in, this place is like stepping into France with your eyes closed. Not only are they incredibly friendly and welcoming, but their weekly new products are off the charts. I literally drool when their Instagram pops up with the newest creation and run as fast as I can because they sell out fast. This probably sounds like a verbose review but trust me you will believe when you smell those.”
