Description
Founded in 2010 by World Baking Champion Pierre Zimmermann and his wife, Michele, the bakery draws on a 110-year lineage rooted in Schnersheim, France. Production takes cues from village market customs, shaping daily items around local produce and the calendar. Nearly all breads rely on natural sourdough starters for lasting freshness and concentrated flavor, translating Alsatian technique into an accessible Chicago counter.
