From Robin of Alpina Swiss Bakery and the Green Hill Restaurant Group:
A lot of thought and research went into our baguettes at Alpina Swiss Bakery.
We’ve really tried to keep them as artisan as possible — which they are. No baguette ever looks the same here. They all come out a little different, and that’s part of their charm.
We make two sizes: the traditional, wider one, and the ficelle – which is thinner and used in all our sandwiches.
I don’t know why but we named our sourdough starter Martha. She’s been around a couple years now. She’s a living culture, and she’s the base of all our breads here.
Right now, I think Martha’s hanging out in our shop’s fridge.
