Wayward Baking – American
The intoxicating aroma of toasted seeds and slow-fermented sourdough wafts through this artisanal haven, where rustic loaves like the hearty oat porridge and salt-flecked olive bread boast perfectly crackling crusts. Golden, buttery layers of hand-laminated croissants shatter with every bite, offering a decadent contrast to the chewy, charred crusts and bubbling toppings of their celebrated Monday night pizzas.
