Collaborations

Founded by husband-and-wife team Bruno and Allison Oghittu, Baba Bread is an authentic and artisanal French boulangerie dedicated to offering exceptional bread, pastries, and savories to Rowan County, North Carolina, and surrounding areas. Frenchman Bruno met American Allison while working in NYC. Bruno took his bread-making craft to a whole new level during COVID and traveled to Alsace, France, to work with MOF (Meilleur Ouvrier de France) Jean-Claude Iltis, to name just one of his many mentors. Bruno and Allison moved to her hometown in NC, where they bought a home, created an atelier, and launched their business in early 2023. Visit their new brick-and-mortar shop in Concord, NC.
