When my husband and I moved here from AZ, eleven years ago, we immediately started looking for a good bakery for bread. We thought that we had found one with Servatii's. All was great, for a while. A year or so ago, they started limiting baguettes to only being available on Fridays and Saturdays. Disappointing, but we could work around that. Then, they quit making them altogether.

These buns have a wonderful mix of nuts and candied fruit, along with a wheat type yeast rolls , brushed with egg wash and topped with a generous " cross" of Servatii's delicious butter cream icing.
