Brand Story
BBT Bakery & Toast carries forward the handmade baking tradition of BabaTang, a beloved toast bakery brand with more than 300 locations across China. Now in the U.S., we remain committed to crafting high-quality toast loaves by hand. With an uncompromising dedication to quality, we select premium ingredients from around the world to bring simple joy and satisfaction with every bite.
Our philosophy is simple: use premium ingredients to craft high-quality products with heart. From carefully selected ingredients to repeated folding and hand-braiding, every detail reflects our respect for authentic flavor and our sincere commitment to every guest.
Ingredients
Great baking begins with exceptional ingredients. We select trusted ingredients from Japan, France, Belgium, and the United States for the texture, flavor, and finish they bring to every loaf and pastry.
Flour
Made from carefully selected wheat and milled in Japan by NIPPN, this bread flour gives our loaves a fine, springy crumb and clean wheat flavor. It also helps the dough retain moisture, keeping every slice soft and tender.
Butter
Made in Normandy, France, under the protected Isigny AOP designation, this butter is crafted from slowly matured cream, giving our pastries a rich dairy aroma and subtle hazelnut notes. Its supple texture helps create even layers that bake up delicately crisp with a tender, buttery finish.
Cream
Produced in the United States by Clover Sonoma, this fresh cream brings a clean dairy flavor and gentle richness to our doughs and fillings. It helps keep each loaf soft and moist, with a smooth, indulgent texture that never feels heavy.
Cocoa
Created by Belgian chocolate maker Callebaut, Extra Brute cocoa powder gives our chocolate breads and pastries a deep color and bold roasted-cocoa flavor. Its smooth, rounded richness adds greater depth to every bite and leaves a clean, lingering finish.
Flour
Stone-milled in the United States by Cairnspring Mills, Glacier Peak flour gives our dough the strength and flexibility needed for a beautiful rise and well-defined layers. It helps our croissants and artisan breads bake up light and well-structured, with a naturally rich wheat flavor.
Mascarpone
Crafted in the United States in the Italian tradition, BelGioioso Mascarpone gives our fillings and pastries a dense, velvety texture and delicate buttery sweetness. It adds luxurious richness without overpowering the other ingredients.
Handmade Process
From mixing a smooth, elastic dough to locking in butter, rolling, folding, and hand-braiding, every step is carefully timed to create delicate layers, a light aroma, and a soft, pull-apart crumb.
Premium flour and other ingredients are mixed and kneaded until the dough becomes smooth and supple, creating the soft, fine-textured foundation of every loaf.
A chilled butter block is fully enclosed in the dough so its gentle dairy aroma carries through every layer.
The dough is rolled and folded by hand, patiently building delicate layers without rushing the process.
The layered dough is braided by hand, creating BBT's signature texture before the final proof.
