– From wholesome bread to refrigerator and frozen doughs, including biscuits, crusts, and cookies, Grissom’s brings the aroma of the corner bakery home. Because with Grissom’s, every bite is a taste of quality, warmth, and the unmistakable freshness of the corner bakery.
The irresistible aroma of fresh-baked bread comes from a reaction between heat, sugars, and proteins—often called the Maillard reaction—which creates that golden crust and signature bakery scent.
Biscuit dough gets its flaky layers from cold fat (like butter or shortening) melting during baking—creating tiny pockets that puff into soft, airy layers.
Some of the earliest breads date back more than 10,000 years, making baking one of the oldest culinary traditions still enjoyed today.
Hamburger and hot dog buns became popular in the early 1900s as outdoor dining and cookouts grew—making handheld meals easy to enjoy anywhere.
Pie crusts and cookie dough rely on precise ratios of fat to flour—small changes can create everything from light and flaky to rich and tender textures.
The signature rise in many doughs comes from yeast releasing tiny bubbles of carbon dioxide—creating the light, airy texture found in everything from breads to rolls.
