Buy Bread

A loving grandson
Yiayia's Bread Company is a small business based in Montreal. We are a grandmother-grandson bread making duo using the Greek traditional baking methods that my yiayia (which means "grandmother" in Greek) taught me ever since I was a child.
Enjoying a warm slice of home made bread during visits to yiayia's house was a blessing that became normal, but one winter evening, an idea grabbed on to me as I was chowing down on the delicious fluffy dough cloud. I told her how the bread she makes is so good that it can easily be sold and without hesitation, her sweet high-pitched Greek accented voice spoke "Do it."
Indeed I did do it. Now, Yiayia's Bread Company is run out of her kitchen where I spent years under her wing learning her ways. Loaves are made fresh, by hand and with the care and love that yiayia Niki has always shown me.
