FAQs

Who is The Bread Gal, and why have I never seen these products before? 

The Bread Gal Bakery has over 25 years of artisan baking techniques and traditions. Previously only available to New York City’s most discerning chefs and in the highly selective kitchens – these items have never before been available to the public. These fresh, artisan breads and breakfast items are now offered to the public - exclusively through NYC Bakery Direct. 

Are these products fresh? 

Oh yeah, we’re fresh! Every item in your order is baked specifically for you. It is only once you place your order online, that it is added to our production list. Your delicious baked breads, muffins and other items are baked just before they are packed and shipped.  

When will I receive my order? 

Orders are processed and shipped on Mondays/Tuesdays, and all orders are shipped 2 day to ensure freshness. You’ll receive an email with tracking information when your order leaves our facility. 

How do I store my baked goods to keep them fresh? 

We suggest consuming your baked goods within two days of delivery. You can also freeze them upon receipt for up to three months. Freezing works best with a double layer of plastic wrap applied close to the product. 

Do you have any suggestions for serving? 

Not only will a little time in the oven make your kitchen smell FANTASTIC, but it will also make all of our breads and pastries even more delicious. Preheat your oven to 350. Always remove paper or plastic packaging just prior to popping anything from a double chocolate muffin to a 2 lb ciabatta loaf into the oven. Sit back and savor the smells of YOUR fresh baked goodness for 10-15 minutes. Now you too are a baker! (If frozen, defrost at room temperature for about 30 minutes before heating.)

Where can I brag about the amazing sandwich I just created with your bread?
