The French Bakery

Bakery and café on Red Cliffs Drive making French pastries, breads and desserts.

French baking is a distinct discipline rather than a style of decoration, and a bakery working breads, pastries and desserts together is running two very different processes side by side. Red Cliffs Drive is the retail spine of the city's north-east side.

Background

Viennoiserie — croissants, pain au chocolat and their relatives — is the technically hardest part of a French bakery's range: the dough is laminated, meaning butter is folded into it through repeated turns to build dozens of alternating layers that steam apart in the oven. It is temperature-sensitive work, which is a genuine complication in a desert climate that runs well past 40°C in summer.
