Suzanne Dunaway, owner and head baker of Buona Forchetta Hand Made Breads uses her unconventional techniques to bake artisan breads unlike any others. She uses no fat, sugar or dairy products in any bread doughs except for a small amount in the Texas Pecan Raisin. The crusts are lighter, chewier, user-friendly and may be easily crisped in a hot oven; the crumb is moist, stays fresh longer, and has more intense flavor than most breads. Her ingredients are flour, water, yeast and salt - and, passion. She use no preservatives or additives of any kind. She also makes extra ordinarily rich almond cookies called tozzetti (the Roman name for biscotti), both plain and with Valrhona, 61% cocoa butter chocolate, and four kinds of croutini that will make your soups and salads sing (that is, if you have not eaten the whole package all by itself!).

You will find Buona Forchetta products in over 120 markets and restaurants from Thousand Oaks to Mission Viejo, from Malibu and Santa Monica to Pasadena. Or stop by our will-call counter at our bakery, where we have a few surprises for you that aren't in the store because they are too delicate to travel well. But be sure to buy two loaves, because you'll finish one before you get to your car!
