Polish baking is an integral part of the country's rich culinary heritage. Baked goods are a central part of Polish daily life, often served during family meals, holidays, and celebrations. Our expert bakers produce a variety of breads, pastries, and cookies in small batches on a daily basis.
Many Polish breads are made with natural fermentation, which uses wild yeast from the surrounding environment. This fermentation process imparts a rich flavor and dense texture to the bread. Some bakeries still use traditional stone ovens to bake their bread, giving it a distinctive flavor and crust.
Bread, or chleb, is the backbone of the Polish diet. It's commonly eaten at every meal, served with butter, meats, cheeses, and soups. Traditional Polish bread has a dense, hearty texture and a crusty, golden exterior, often made with rye, wheat, or a mix of both.
Polish baking also shines through in its variety of pastries and desserts, many of which have been enjoyed for centuries. Some are perfect for the holidays, while others are beloved year-round treats.
Polish holidays are rich in tradition, and so is the food, especially when it comes to baked goods. Certain pastries and cakes are made specifically for the holidays, following recipes passed down through generations.
Polish Babka is a traditional yeast-based cake that holds a special place in Polish cuisine, especially during holidays like Easter and Christmas. This sweet, fluffy cake is beloved for its rich texture, delicate sweetness, and the variety of ways it can be flavored and decorated.
Polish poppy seed rolls (known as makowiec) are a traditional Polish pastry made with a sweet yeast dough filled with a rich poppy seed filling. This dessert is especially popular during Christmas, Easter, and other festive occasions. The combination of a soft, fluffy dough with the aromatic poppy seed filling makes this treat a Polish classic loved by many.
Pączki (pronounced "pawnch-kee") are delicious, deep-fried Polish doughnuts, typically filled with fruit or cream filling. They are a beloved treat in Poland, particularly on Fat Thursday (Tłusty Czwartek), which is the Polish equivalent of Mardi Gras or Fat Tuesday, marking the last day before Lent begins.
