The Wave Hill Breads Story

At Wave Hill Breads, we honor traditions that modern commercial bakeries have abandoned.

Fresh organic grains are milled at the bakery right before they are mixed into the dough to preserve freshness. All of our doughs ferment for up to 72 hours and are highly hydrated to yield bread that is easy to digest. Another reason why our breads are so good is that they are shaped by hand. 


It’s our mission to bake breads for our community that are the foundation for healthy eating.

It starts with Tim . . .


Tim Topi began baking at age 16 as an apprentice in Rome. With time and effort, he ultimately became a Master Baker. In 2013, he left Italy for the US with ambitions to work at a bakery where he could make bread using the traditional methods that are his passion. 

Tim became the Head Baker at Wave Hill Breads – a micro-bakery specializing in Pan de Campagne in traditional shapes. Two years later, Tim and his wife Angela bought the business and expanded offerings based on requests from customers. Sourdough, Ciabatta, Focaccia, Pumpernickel and sandwich breads - all made with Tim’s signature passion for quality local ingredients and traditional methods.
