Story Behind the Bakery"
Barry
Ciarrocchi has worked as a pastry chef and has a

attended a professional bread making program at the San Francisco Baking
Institute and worked as a manager at several well-known artisanal
Philadelphia bakeries including Baker Street Bread Company, and
Metropolitan Bakery. He also learned how to make pizza dough at Marengo's
Pizzeria in Avondale, Pennsylvania.
The

working in the labs. Barry has long been interested in chemistry and it has
taken him several years to perfect the art of making bread.
