Asiago Cheese is an exceptionally flavorful bread. The loaves are made fresh by mixing real Asiago and Parmesan directly into the dough before baking. 🧀 It’s been a Kneaders staple since we opened.

For a more veggie-focused option, Asiago can also be used to make a delicious homemade salad. Be sure to request the loaves sliced at the bakery! It makes the recipe much easier.  🍞
