La Brea Bakery - Aspire Bakeries Canada

Get to Know Us

When the pastry chefs at Campanile couldn’t find bread good enough for their restaurants, they spent a year crafting the perfect recipe. They created a bread with a caramelized, golden crust, soft interior and rustic appearance.
Their signature recipe resulted in such delicious artisan bread that they opened La Brea Bakery on La Brea Ave. When there were people lined up outside the bakery every morning, and the bread sold out by 11 AM, they knew they had a hit.
Today, we use the same sourdough recipe and the same artisan techniques in our La Brea Bakery artisan breads found in local grocery stores.

What Sets Us Apart

Sourdough Starter

We developed our original Sourdough Starter in 1989 using only flour, water, salt and wild yeast from the skin of organic grapes. This ultimately became the signature ingredient in every single loaf of La Brea Bakery breads a imparting depth of flavor, texture and other artisan characteristics.

High Quality Ingredients

We are committed to using only the highest quality ingredients in our breads. Our flour is locally milled to La Brea Bakery's specificaions, our breads do not contian any additives or preservatives and most are Non-GMO, Kosher and Vegan certified.

Patient Process

We approach each loaf with time honored techniques so more complex flavors and textures can develop. The flavor of our breads is concentrated in the crust and the open structure with a chewy texture – hallmarks of artisan bread.

Our Breads

For over 30 years we have been creating handcrafted, hearth baked artisan bread for consumers to enjoy.

Baguettes and Batards

Pointed tips with a crispy golden crust and tender interior, our artisan baguette bread is the perfect choice for your favorite bruschetta recipe or simply torn apart and eaten with good cheese.

Flat Loaves

Soft and aromatic with a simple shape. Our flat loaves embody subtle flavors and a light, porous interior making them ideal for absorbing rich flavors. Excellent for tearing apart and dipping in fresh olive oil or olive tapenade.

Loaves

Just like our loaves, we use traditional artisan techniques to allow the flavors and textures to develope naturally resulting in the best bread to accompany any meal.
