About Us:

The Great Lakes Baking Company is a small artisan bakery located in the picturesque village of Hudson, Ohio. Since opening in the summer of 1998, the shop has produced a variety of freshly baked breakfast treats, pastries, desserts, rolls, and breads from scratch using traditional American and European recipes. Most recently, the bakery has expanded its offering to include pizza on Saturday nights. The customer base is predominately retail, but the bakery is proud to acknowledge its bread, rolls, and pastries are served by several of the area's finest restaurants.

Our Philosophy:

All products are baked on the premises from scratch. Depending on the recipe, either whole wheat flours or white enriched flours are typically used - never bleached or bromated flours. In recipes requiring a sweetener, Ohio honey or pure cane sugar is used - never high fructose corn syrup or any artificial sweetener, flavoring, or preservative. Fats are added sparingly, if at all. When needed, fresh creamery butter or olive oil is used - never shortening, lard, or hydrogenated fat. The Great Lakes region has a long history of growing and milling flours and other natural ingredients suitable for producing a wide array of baked goods. We make every effort to source ingredients locally and will expand our efforts as quality products become available.
