Los Angeles Baking Heritage EST. 1941

Los Angeles roots. Three generations of care.

“The tools may change. The standard of care does not.”

Founded in 1941, Frisco Baking Company has been a steadfast presence in Southern California foodservice for over eight decades. We believe great bread is born from unhurried natural fermentation, skilled hands, and enduring customer relationships.

The Mother Starter

Our Living Sourdough Culture Since 1941

At the heart of Frisco Baking Company is our proprietary wild sourdough mother starter—the same continuous culture first cultivated in 1941. Unlike commercial bakeries that rely on artificial sour enhancers or instant chemical yeasts, our sourdough bread develops its character through time-honored slow fermentation.

Every morning at 621 West Avenue 26, our bakers begin work while the city sleeps. We measure flour, water, and our living mother dough, allowing the natural enzymes to unlock depth of flavor, open crumb structure, and a blistered golden crust that holds up to the demands of professional kitchens.
