earlybirdmilkbread Milkbread Rolls in all your favorite flavors. We make milkbread rolls! It's what makes our rolls melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

What makes milkbread so fluffy from your standard bread The difference is tangzhong, a mixture of flour cooked into a roux before being added to the rest of the ingredients.

Hi! We’ve been a little quiet since our social media director (Lucy) went on a work trip in Asia, sadly leaving Dante behind to hold down the EarlyBird fort.

Here are a couple shots from random spots in Singapore 🇸🇬 and China 🇨🇳 . Best pic is the last one!

Ring the alarm! BREAD PUDDING IS BACK.

We are popping up at our local gym as their members challenge themselves in the grueling Peak 500 competition. Nothing more entertaining than eating bread while others work out.

Mixing it up with the menu, no rolls BUT we have
- toast with choice of salted butter, strawberry jam, or orange marmalade (dante’s pain went into the jam and marmalade, so it tastes better) 🧈 🍓 🍊
- crispy grilled cheese 🧀
- cinnamon roll bread pudding
