The Best Sourdough in Its Home of San Francisco
"I've come to see Tartine Bakery, founded in 2002 in San Francisco’s Mission District by Elisabeth Prueitt and Chad Robertson, as synonymous with artisan bread; its soft sourdough is served across 16 locations in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Seoul, South Korea. The bakery relies on traditional techniques, high-quality ingredients, and innovations like Robertson’s cast iron baking method, using flours milled in Washington state’s Skagit Valley—combined with levain and the foggy San Francisco weather—to create an ideal balance for fermentation." - Natalie Zimmerman
