Our Baking Process

At Mile High Bakery, our baking process begins with carefully selected ingredients. We source local flour and fresh produce for our pies. Doughs are mixed and proofed over time to develop flavor. Pastries are laminated with butter to create flaky layers. Each item is baked in small batches to maintain quality. Our team follows traditional techniques, adapting recipes for altitude conditions in Denver. Temperature and humidity are monitored to ensure consistent results. The result is a range of baked goods that vary in texture and taste depending on the day's conditions.

Customer Feedback

Sarah M.

I recently tried the multigrain loaf. The crust was nice and crisp, and the inside had a good chew. It worked well for sandwiches.

James T.

The almond croissant had a nice flaky texture and the filling was not too sweet. It paired well with my morning coffee.

Emily R.

The apple pie had a balanced sweetness and the crust held together well. It made for a pleasant evening treat at home.

Our Commitment to Quality

Mile High Bakery sources ingredients from local farms and mills whenever possible. This approach supports regional producers and provides fresh flavors. Flours are chosen for their protein content to suit different doughs. Butter is sourced from a local dairy for laminating pastries. Fruits for pies are selected at peak ripeness. Each batch is made from scratch without preservatives. Bakers adjust hydration and proofing times based on humidity and temperature. The goal is to produce baked goods that reflect the care of traditional methods. This process results in a diverse selection with varying characteristics.
