DOUGH-a new bakery on the Danforth
The Danforth lacks great bakeries in my opinion. Imagine my excitement when DOUGH opened up just East of Broadview on Danforth. I am now enjoying a perfectly buttery, flaky croissant and looking forward to the parisienne baguette still hot from the oven. They also have scones, 2 kinds of bread (oatmeal and white) and bagelhouse montreal style bagels.

I wonder why this place opened if most of what I read isn't positive even a month after they open. My wife does not cook, but she occasionally makes a batch of scones and they always rock! So that proves you don't have to be a good cook to make scones. I wonder why the person making them at "Dough" can't get it right.

I agree that the baguette was good. And they carry Bagel House bagels which in itself is worth a stop. I can't comment on much else because they didn't have much besides the bagels and baguette when we stopped in.
foodydudey, I would say that you are lucky your wife is able to bake a good scone. I must admit the few times I've tried they turned out quite dry, and I consider myself to be a fairly decent baker. To your point though, scones should be baking 101 to someone that bakes professionally. Does make you wonder.

Had the scone fresh from the over a week ago and was not very impressed. The scone texture was a touch dry and the maple? topping was way to sweet for my taste. Had a scone from St John's Bakery (Broadview and Queen) not warm from the oven this weekend and was very impressed.
Dough is just new, so I'm hoping things will get better.›2 Replies-

I too dropped in last weekend and was not impressed by the single croissant that I sampled. Not flaky or puffy enough. I chatted with the woman behind the counter who said they'd be focusing mostly on breads. The shelves were a little bare (this was around 14:00 on a Sunday) so perhaps it will take time to work things out.
