At Calandra’s Bakery, we believe in tradition. Since bread is one of the most classic staples at any wholesome bakery, we add time, attention, and detail into every single loaf of bread that we bake – creating it the old-fashioned way, with only four ingredients. What’s more, when you purchase our delicious bread from Calandra’s Bakery, you never have to worry about extra additives or harmful elements. We make each loaf to be 100% all-natural, and craft them by hand, from scratch, every single hour that the bakery is open. Our four main breads include white, semolina, whole wheat, and multigrain. We also offer a variety of other products as well!
Our dough is hand-scaled, the old-fashioned way, then baked in our brick ovens. We offer a wide variety of whole grain breads, including whole wheat, multigrain, and semolina
There’s nothing quite like a tasty fresh loaf of traditional white bread – exactly 26 types of white bread are available in each of our bakeries, from a simple panella and a French baguette to an intricate twist and a beautiful bastone.
Known as “pane di semola” in Italian, semolina bread is historically made on special occasions in Italy. It is made with semolina flour, which comes from the hardest kind of wheat available. Its golden coloring makes semolina bread such a widely recognized bread type, and its firm texture makes it a one-of-a-kind delicacy.
Our whole wheat bread recipes combine optimal nutrition with a scrumptious flavor that only whole wheat can provide. The bran, germ, and endosperm of the wheat kernels all remain in our whole wheat breads, so it’s made up of wheat kernels, and all the nutritional value they have to offer. Customers can enjoy our whole wheat breads in the form of a whole wheat panela, round roll, and more.
Quinoa, wheat, oats, and more are incorporated into our multigrain bread recipes. In addition to our multigrain bread options, we offer other miscellaneous types of bread, including rye bread, focaccia rolls and our unique and popular by demand focaccia onion rolls.
While the world evolves and many companies change their products, our old-fashioned bread-making process is still as fresh as ever. We always hand-scale each loaf, the old-fashioned way, then bake them in our brick ovens. Fortunately, Calandra’s Bakery has three different locations throughout northern New Jersey – so if you live in or near Newark, Fairfield or Caldwell, you’re more than welcome to stop in and try out one of our hot, fresh, handmade loaves of bread for yourself.
