Dear Grain

Hamilton’s Dear Grain made its big move to Toronto with the opening of a splashy “sourdough studio” on Ossington. The name is apt: this is much more a showroom for high-end carbs than a traditional bakery. Adri Greenspan’s loaves are the main attraction: he’s a true sourdough savant, able to coax exceptional flavours and textures from humble ingredients. Look no further than his multigrain porridge pan loaf and boundary-pushing creations like his cheesy parmesan-and-fig loaf. 48 Ossington Ave., deargrain.com
