Have you ever had a really good loaf of bread? I'm not talking about a grocery store baguette or even a fresh Amoroso roll. There's a huge difference between the bread we snack on in everyday life and a true artisan loaf, handcrafted by talented bakers with years of history and skill helping them perfect a crispy crust, fluffy center, and irresistible flavor. Lucky for us, there's a tiny bakery in Lewes that has perfected the art of artisan breads, and you'll never go back to grocery store loaves after trying their tasty creations.
Old World Breads in Lewes has been baking up the tastiest treats in Delaware for over 25 years.
This hole-in-the-wall spot is always filled with the delicious smell of warm, fresh-from-the-oven sourdoughs, ryes and pastries.
They're continually testing out new recipes, like this flavorful onion bread that was added to their collection last summer.
Old World Breads supports local mills and artisans, and this organic sourdough will quickly teach you the difference between shipped-in ingredients and ones from around the corner.
Of course, this bakery doesn't just focus on bread! Try any of their scones or other pastries for a great start to your day, or a treat after a trip to the beach.
Every single recipe at Old World Breads has been revived from a traditional recipe, so the handmade bread is truly a unique treat.
You can also find Old World Breads at various Farmers Markets in the Delmarva area, so you can pick up fresh baked artisan bread wherever you are!
You can see their up-to-date calendar here.
Old World Breads is open Tuesday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Sunday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.. If they've got leftover product from the weekend, they're on on Monday, too, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.. The Monday "day old bake sale" is a great way to try as many of their products as you'd like and enjoy discounted prices. Even at one day old, these breads are out of this world!
You can find the bakery at 32191 Nassau Rd, Lewes, DE 19958.
