Hewn

I love that all the bread is sourdough based! I have a gluten sensitivity but I haven’t had any issues w the bread here, especially the the whole wheat seeded.

Those of us who love Bread appreciate the quality of the breads that these talented bakers produce. There is a great selection of breads, as well as desserts and everything that is made here is of the finest ingredients. All of the flour is organic purchased from selected providers and ground to Hewn's own specifications. In my experience the great taste and overall goodness is unmatched. I am especially impressed by their Ciabatta. It's a very large loaf with a crunchy crust with terrific moist innards sporting plenty of holes. It's chewy, as you would expect from the high gluten content. Often it is still warm from the oven and keeps well for a couple of days without refrigeration, although freezing all that you cannot eat within a day is highly recommended. It's the best of it's type that I have ever eaten, resembling the best of the bread I have eaten in Eastern Europe. I recommend Hewn Bakery in Evanston without any reservations.
