European-Style Breads and Pastries

EVERGRAIN BREAD COMPANY specializes in artisan breads and pastries crafted in the European tradition. Our mission is simple — produce an honest loaf through the use of quality ingredients and the age-old method of long fermentation. Avoiding the short-cuts and pre-mixed ingredients used by many American-style bakeries, we invest our time and skills to evoke the fullest flavor from the grain.

We hope you will become as passionate about good bread as we are.


About Us

Head baker Douglas Rae developed a passion for baking bread at a very early age. Raised in a family of home bread-bakers, he quickly dove deeper into the science and art behind baking bread through a personal library of books he collected. By the time he entered high school, he had built an Alan Scott brick oven in his backyard for baking small batches of bread. And during the summer before his senior year, he interned at Little Notch Bakery in Southwest Harbor, Maine.     

Douglas attended Johnson & Wales University in Providence, R.I. where he earned an associate degree in bread and pastry and a bachelor degree in food service entrepreneurship. While at Johnson & Wales, Douglas worked alongside artisan bakers on the east and west coasts of the U.S. He also spent time in Paris observing the masters at work.
