New English muffin eatery by Model Bakery debuts, generating excitement
Nestled in the heart of Walnut Creek, California, Model Bakery continues to captivate food enthusiasts with its exceptional English muffins. Founded in 1984 by Karen Mitchell (Hansen), the family-owned bakery has grown from a small establishment in Napa, California to a significant player in the Napa Valley culinary scene, and more recently, expanding to Yountville, St. Helena, and Walnut Creek.
The bakery's English muffins, handmade daily with meticulous attention to detail, have become a local favourite in St. Helena, with residents flocking to the bakery for their signature muffins and other delectable baked goods.
The creation of the English muffin recipe was an accidental stroke of genius. Inspired by a baker experimenting with leftover ciabatta dough, the unique recipe has since become the bakery's crowning achievement. The muffins' exceptional quality, combined with local acclaim in Napa Valley, has led to early-morning lines forming to purchase them.
Model Bakery's English muffins have garnered attention from celebrities, including Oprah Winfrey, who has featured them on her "Favorite Things" list four times. This celebrity endorsement has significantly boosted the bakery's national profile and credibility among a broad audience.
The making of Model Bakery's English muffins involves a lot of care and craftsmanship. Head Production Baker, Gordan Patty, emphasises the importance of proper mixing for the muffins' shaping and griddling. The bakery sells nearly 7,000 English muffins on a busy day, a testament to their popularity.
In addition to its English muffins, Model Bakery serves meals throughout the day, offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The bakery's co-owners, Sarah Mitchell Hansen and Karen Mitchell, continue to grow the business, ensuring that the bakery's reputation for producing high-quality, artisan products remains intact.
From its humble beginnings in the wine country, Model Bakery has risen to become a sought-after gourmet product favoured by celebrities and food enthusiasts alike. Whether you're a local or a tourist, a visit to Model Bakery is a must for anyone seeking a taste of Napa Valley's culinary excellence.
