The three-grain pain de campagne is a gorgeous loaf with a rugged, muscular crust and airy insides that provide just the right tooth resistance for complete bread enjoyment. The loaf is made from flour, water, spelt and rye berries, sea salt, and yeast, and it is baked each morning.

Bakers Mitchell Rapoport and Margaret Sapir stand at a table with the huge bomb of dough they were working on when I visited about 9:30 in the morning. Three hours later, the loaf I ate was still oven-warm.

Wave Hill loaves are made using a natural fermentation process that lasts over eight hours. Although elegant, they pack full flavor that rewards a serious chaw.

The crust on this loaf is firm and chewy, not at all brittle. Probably the best thing to do with it -- if you need to do something other than tear at it straight from the bag -- is dip it into some really good olive oil ... or maybe make it into bruschetta ... or spread it with tapenade.

Off of busy Route 7 in the back of a building just north and across the road from Orem's Diner, Wave Hill Breads provides window shoppers with a great view of the bakers at work.
