Bakeries in Bakersfield?

[Leucadian]

Looking for recs for good bread in the area. I think I made a unconscious jump from Bakersfield to Basque to sheepherders to sourdough. How wrong am I?

Just noticied your post - I think you're on the right track. The oldest bakery in Bakersfield is Pyrenees French Bakery. It's French Basque and it's most popular bread is sourdough.

One of the other nice things about Pyrenee's Bakery is they don't put any additives in their bread (at least not in the types of their bread that I buy). Pyrenee's bread can be found in most local grocery stores, too, and if you look at a Pyrenee's baguette bag, the ingredients are simply flour, water, yeast and salt...or something along those lines. That's refreshing to see these days.
