Neighborhood bakery, Proving Lane

Bread worth getting up for.

The oven goes on at 3 am. By 7 the counter is stacked with sourdough, flaky croissants and whatever we couldn't resist trying this week. Come early. The cardamom buns don't wait.

Hearth sourdough

Thirty-six hours of patience, a crust that crackles, and a crumb that holds butter properly.

Butter croissant

Three days from dough to counter. Wear a dark shirt at your own risk.

Our birthday favorite. Pre-order 48 hours ahead and we'll write on it, too.

We started with one oven and a rule: nothing goes on the counter that we wouldn't fight a sibling for. It's still the rule. There are just more siblings now.
