One of my favorite trends in food businesses recently is people being openly hostile to unnecessary expansion that would hurt their product. Love to see it.
Me too. There is a philosophy in business that if you're not growing your dyeing, but I'd argue that a business that's twice as big usually is a completely different animal and often loses what made it great in the first place.
I love this too. Here in Austin, Texas we have several local businesses that have started expanding beyond our city because of their success locally, and it's amazing how negatively it has impacted their quality. Just stay in the community that loves your business and be a local success!
@@allistar34 no it isn't. it's rote. it's the same thing over and over and over again. it makes you tired. there is zero brain-use. be more judicious with your use of the word "hard"
i met crystal YEARS ago when she was working at proof in LA -- such a bright spirit, always had passion for her craft. so awesome to see her getting props on eater!
as a home baker who usually bakes one loaf at a time, maximum two, i am in awe of how crystal moves through her morning producing such brilliant loaves. and yes, kudos to her for keeping it small, authentic and of the highest quality. we need much more of that.
(I type this while actively eating one of their baguettes) This video didn't even touch on their incredible pizzas! Rotating monthly menu of meat and veggie pies with ingredients sourced from local farms that are always absolutely delicious. It's a date night favorite to grab one and walk two blocks over to watch the sunset over the ocean while enjoying the pizza.
😮 They got pizzas! Why didn’t they show that! Maybe another video 👀 because that would be awesome to see! That sounds amazing! Local farms sourced for ingredients and a meat or veggie pie sign me up for a veggie one please 😊
San Diegans who live near that bakery are incredibly lucky to have a passionate baker like her making their breads everyday. The crunch on that baguette is amazing.
Truly a destination worthy bakery. Crystal is such an incredible baker but also a generous and kind person. I first met her years ago when worked at Proof Bakery in LA. So proud of her journey and what she's established in La Jolla. Now please open a bakery in LA!
Opening her own after working for others a long time, including for Chad of Tartine,great & humble guy,is truly a reward of her long journey. It's also true,that holding a properly baked bread,still piping hot, hearing the beautiful crackling sound of the caressed crust,breaking it & see the awesome crumbs,smelling the aroma....not many is as satisfying
I am blessed to work a minutes walk from Wayfarer. Always a line out the door. Bread is clearly amazing...Weekly top notch sandwiches with local ingredients and pizzas that change monthly on the weekends. This place is no joke. I always grab a croissant with a meat sandwich. If you are ever in Bird Rock, check this place out!
San Diego here I come!!! Crystals passion is evident and I love the idea of not growing, staying local and just focus on producing the best bread. So inspiring!
I was FIXED to this video for its entirety. This woman has PASSION for baking and it’s visibly seen with her bread. Cannot wait to try her bakeries art one day. 😊
I’ve worked in a large commercial bakery for almost 18 years, and I can’t imagine doing all this yourself. Baking is so much work! I feel like everyone should work in a bakery, it builds good character, a strong work ethic, and such a good base to start off on.
I've done this, it's such a structured process, one slip and lookout! I don't think customers fully understand the level of work that goes into it. She is amazing..
I’m watching this in Singapore. I love her and her baked goods! I wish we have people who keep things ‘small’ but top grade. No need for expansion and expansion (ie greed). Passion and hard work I truly admire. I’d LOVE those breads! I love bread and pastries. When she crushed the baguette my mouth Salivated!
I think ego and ambition can be just as seductive as $-sometimes people just bite off more than they can/should choose. I do agree that i like that she has no interest in that, she just wants to do her best work herself, and she KNOWS to do that, it has to stay small…
Everything what she is doing is classic French baking. I spend a year in France in a boulangerie for a internship. Everything I am seeing is instantly taking me back to France.
I’m excited to visit her bakery the next time I’m in SD! I love the detail she provided about the doughs, the steam, the baking…she works really hard and loves what she does and it shows.
Holy moly. This lady works HARD! Dude this workload is crazy! You got to be built different to do this. Very inspiring and very impressive 😊 each of those loaves look amazing! I wish I could try the sourdough bread.
I'm trying to think if I've ever seen a person who's as happy, excited, and passionate about what she does for a living? I don't think I have. The dough, the breads, the pastries, and on and on all look as good as I've ever seen. The attention to detail is so impressive. The only reason I'm happy I don't live around the corner from her store is simple, I'd weigh 600 pounds from eating too many carbs every single day. Very impressive video @Eater. I was so in to watching her bake and do her thing I missed her name. Whoever you are, congrats and don't ever lose that burning desire to bake what looks like the best stuff in America. Loved this video, loved her attitude, and upbeat personality.
I always love when they chefs who are actually highly knowledgeable and don't just have knowledge based on experience. She understands the science behind the baking. So many chefs just thrown around words like "Magic" and "Love" as the explanation for everything, cause they themselves don't understand, they just know from experience that if you do things one way they turn out good and if you do then another way they turn out bad.
I love bread. baking products are just amazing. seeing this amount of work go into it is just amazing. if i ever find myself on the west coast this will be my first stop.
Excellent education of all things bread!! Explaining fermenting, shaping, moisture, gluten tightness vs more relaxed, etc…increases the quality of the viewer’s experience. BRAVO!!
I worked in a local bakery back when I was in college. The amount of work and dedication that goes into making all the bread loaves is very intense. The part where this owner goes to the bakery before sunrise is definitely not the exception, this is rather common for a lot of local bakeries. Working in a bakery gave me a much greater appreciation for the bakers
I'm just amazed that not everyone knows this. Like, everyone knows how long a loaf of bread need to bake and if it opens at 7 ofc people are there before sunrise.
@@ghostoflazlo I think some of it is also because people have unrealistic estimates for a bread dough's proofing time, or think you can just cut corners by skipping the first rise. Amateur bakers are aware that bread takes at least a couple of hours for a standard wheat loaf fermented with instant yeast, but sourdough can be an overnight process, and a lot of people just don't put the two and two together
I absolutely love her attention to detail and the love she has for perfecting her craft. It's also commendable that she's committed to perfecting her business without pressing to expand her business. She's a rare breed for sure and I'm glad I stumbled on this video as my GF and I will be at her door very very soon.
Thank you for letting us look over your shoulder in your bakery. Im amazed at the amount of work and the level of detail that you put into your breads. Im coming to San Diego soon and hope to visit.
I'm 6,000 miles away trying to bake bread and almost giving up. I wish I could get up each morning and go into this shop when it opens and buy a loaf of this one day and that another. Amazing to see her adding ingredients without measuring and checking the dough by feel. Lots of hard work.
@richardkroll2269 Have you watched youtube videos about how to make a sourdough starter? It will take 2-3 weeks to get it going. Don't give up, you will bake your own bread soon! Suggestion: Watch Carla Bertolucci's videos, that is how I learned! She has several videos on how to make a sourdough starter, bread and some other things. She also has a book. Unfortunately she sadly passed away about two years ago. She was an amazing woman that started a business, now run by her daughters. Hope this helps!
Crystal is definitely a SUPER WOMAN!! As are her equally dedicated early morning bakers!! These people are all amazing talented, important, & impressive!!
I’ve been driving past her bakery for years and had no idea what I was missing. Definitely going to have to stop by and try something, anything. It all looks delicious. From this vid, you can tell she is truly passionate about her craft.
Absolutely amazed and impressed. Makes me want to drive 3000 miles from Wisconsin to San Diego and check out this bakery and try all their wares! Great video!
My Aunt Pat started Oasis Bread Back in the 70's when she moved from Grand Rapids MI to Escondido California. I believe if you live in San Diego you know how wonderful this bread is. It all started from my Aunt Pat rest in peace.
I live near a craft baker in Freestone Ca, Wildflower. Sticky bread and seasonal scones are once a month or so treat, but the smell is a mandatory preamble to the amazingness that is to follow. You can’t have the latter, without the former.
Fascinating craft. Truly a master of her craft when she incorporates environmental factors such as the ambient temperature to make adjustments to her creations.
You win.! That was one of the best baking videos I've ever seen. Loved the look and texture of the loaves. I know where to go the next time I'm in San Diego. Wishing you all the best!
It's just a block or 2 south of Bird Rock Roasters coffee shop which won a national award a decade ago. Don Bravo Mexican cafe is close by for a good surfer's burrito.
Thank you Crystal and staff of #WayfairBread for sharing your processes with us. Everything looked amazing and I love the additions to your croissants. Thanks to the entire team at #eater for the great cinematography, editing, and background music -- as always the team does an outstanding job highlighting the small business owner.
I used to do a bake off every friday for a sourdough bakery around 600 loafs somtimes more for the markets to get extra money for the store. It was alot of fun very rewarding work. Repition is so important at a bakery
I love bakeries and the absolute talent it takes to do baked goods well. I admire anyone who takes this on as it is a long, arduous day, but well worth the resulting products.
Brings back memories starting five types of get my starter going some of the bread required the starter others just required fresh yeast throw each one in the tub give it a turn every 30 minutes a total 5 turns and help out the second Baker to shape the dough I would alternate go to the walk-in and turn the dough in the other five tubs. Does a large proof box in the lobby of the restaurant which I had to make sure at 1:00 in the morning to check to make sure that dough was almost proof the second Baker and then take it out and stick it into the oven and of course inject some steam into it. I would go back to the baker check my time and to start prepping some dry ingredients for the next day😊😊.
The line is out the door on the weekend mornings I drive by. Bird Rock is still a quiet and serene place to walk and get food and coffee a few blocks from the ocean.

@@AmallieGamesthat's because Austin food is overrated. The food stayed the same it's just that nobody wants white people tacos from Austin.
All about money relax
That’s my son making those croissants! This bakery is amazing. Nothing beats those English Muffins!
That's awesome! You can definitely be proud of him - those croissants look amazingly delicious - just perfect!
Okay. Explain to me why she says "CORNER" when walking into a room?
@@boohere2so others know shes coming and to avoid bumping into eachother
@@boohere2so people know she is coming around the corner with a big cart….
If he can keep up with her, he's in a good apprenticeship.
She explained everything in detail while being in full hustle mode!!
Corner!
Remarkable human. The knowledge is so spectacular. The value of being obsessed over time.
this lady works HARD!
this isn't hard. aeronautical engineering is hard. baking is not hard. just doing a lot of it doesn't make it any harder.
@@gackerman99 uh manual labor is hard
@@gackerman99it takes a simple person not to appreciate someone who has mastered their craft.

I thought I knew a lot of bakeries in SD, but hadn't heard of this place somehow. Cool.
I’ll be there!!! 🏃♀️
Thanks for the extra info. This bakery looks amazing
Bakery work is no joke. This is everyday. Amazing work.....
No joke?! What is the baker's favorite Beatles song? Loaf is all you knead
@@dannyzuehlsdorf3697 Hahaha, good one n so fooney! 😊 "Isa"
Agreed
Dang, she is IMPRESSIVE! I'd definitely watch a long-form deep-dive on Wayfarer.
I’ve never seen someone work so hard and do such a great job of explaining what she’s doing and about her business!!!
San Diegans who live near that bakery are incredibly lucky to have a passionate baker like her making their breads everyday. The crunch on that baguette is amazing.
It's in the Bird Rock neighborhood and there's always a long line for their goodies.
@@caspiankitchenI could've sworn I picked up their sourdough at my SD Costco. I stumbled on it and it was so good!
Yeah it's in a rich part of town. But worth the trip.
Uh idiot this is not in San Diego honey.
I wanna live near it just so I can smell it every day. Must be unreal to be downwind of that place.
I've just gain 10X the level of respect I already had for exceptional bakeries like this. there should be one in everyone's neighborhood!
Blown away by not only the technical quality and ability, but the love and passion for what they're all doing. Crystal is a genius!
would happily watch a netflix series about this woman and her bakery
It’d be super cool to watch something about her training a new baker or trying out new recipes
ABSOLUTELY!!
😂
Magnolia network should sign her

@@DannyRockGod Agreed!
You basically have to be in line when the bakers get there to be first in line when they open, believe me I would do that if I lived in the area!
It’s great to see my hometown’s small shop get the recognition they deserve!
She’s badass! Her croissants are amazing: flaky and buttery delicious. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting SD. My favorite bakery in SD.
Been enjoying craft breads all over the world for 60 years and Wayfarer in Bird Rock is the best I’ve ever eaten. A true maestro at her craft. Bravo!
San Diego here I come!!! Crystals passion is evident and I love the idea of not growing, staying local and just focus on producing the best bread. So inspiring!

Around 630 she mentions the ambient temperature and how that informs when to make some adjustments. The variables involved are astounding.
I have much more respect now for a bakery like hers working all by hand. It’s a true labor of love.

Actually Singapore is a good example of this. You have hawker stalls with well deserved Michelin recommendations.
Everything what she is doing is classic French baking. I spend a year in France in a boulangerie for a internship. Everything I am seeing is instantly taking me back to France.
Amazing Crystal! I remember when you were working with NaYoung at Proof Bakery and then with Chad at Tartine. You have clearly mastered the craft!

I love her! I love this! someone give this place it's own show!
This is my absolute favorite bakery in the country. So glad they are getting some wonderful press!!!
Same!
Moral of the story is, "Don't get greedy, live and enjoy life."

It's so wonderful to see how baking becomes your life! She learned from the best and no doubt will have tremendous success and scrumptious bread !
Im born n raised in SD, and I had never heard of this place! 😢
The smell you get when you enter any bakery. Is just as good as the baked good your about to have.
Yes! I baked bread yesterday, and it was torture waiting for it to cool before devouring a hunk of it with butter!
I live near a craft baker in Freestone Ca, Wildflower. Sticky bread and seasonal scones are once a month or so treat, but the smell is a mandatory preamble to the amazingness that is to follow. You can’t have the latter, without the former.
Happy for you guys that you finally get some good bread in the US.
Check out: Fructilactobacillus sanfranciscensis. It's named after San Francisco for a good reason. Candida milleri yeast is endemic as well.☮️
There are good bakeries all across the country. They are just not as common in isolated small towns, 120 miles from the nearest city.
Proof in Phoenix is an all sourdough bakery, no commercial yeast is used. The best!!
Good breads of all kinds around San Diego, from croissants to taftoun.
Fascinating craft. Truly a master of her craft when she incorporates environmental factors such as the ambient temperature to make adjustments to her creations.
Exactly what I was hoping the video to be and so much more, very impressed by her.
That was beautiful! Thank you. I love all of my sourdough breads that I make.
What a great talent of this lady making a lot of bread loving people like me happy. Thank you !
Amazing! I love seeing someone perform at the top of their game.
this amazing video from a great san diego bakery inspires young bakers to create wonderful breads in there own bakeries
You win.! That was one of the best baking videos I've ever seen. Loved the look and texture of the loaves. I know where to go the next time I'm in San Diego. Wishing you all the best!
Lots of great smelling food in this world but there is truly something special about baking or burning bread
Great video and I wish that bakery was near me. What a hard worker Crystal is. Everything looks so good.
It’s a delight to watch someone who is a master at what they do and seem to really enjoy doing it.
I went to high school with Crystal-very, very sweet person-so happy for her success!
Thanks for sharing her story.
WOW : What a woman, what a Baker, what an entrepreneur, what an Artist !
Bakers are seriously badass.
Blown away that she did this by HERSELF for so long
EVERYTHING looks amazing and delicious at this bakery - we definitely need one of these in our neck of the woods!
Excellent job. Been in a bakery 36 yrs next month.
Large scale at my job but definitely beautiful bread made by you and your team.
It's just a block or 2 south of Bird Rock Roasters coffee shop which won a national award a decade ago. Don Bravo Mexican cafe is close by for a good surfer's burrito.
We will definitely be going there in February. I’m from Montana and have relatives in San Diego so yes we will be there.
I've been to your place a couple times and your bread is better than any bakery in Germany.
Amazing to see this process. Such Hard work and effort that goes into this craft. Nice work guys!

As a person who wants to open a restaurant and provide freshly baked breads this helped 💯 % thank you for posting this
Isn't this what the American work ethic should be? And for her it's absolutely rewarding
Again, the suburbs have zero small restaurants or women cooking food in the neighborhoods like other countries. Gotta change that
Always great to see someone doing what they so clearly love.

Brings back memories starting five types of get my starter going some of the bread required the starter others just required fresh yeast throw each one in the tub give it a turn every 30 minutes a total 5 turns and help out the second Baker to shape the dough I would alternate go to the walk-in and turn the dough in the other five tubs.

So impressive! She knows every minute to each stage of the process, incredible
Awesome makes me want to take a trip to eat at her bakery. Crystal did such a great job explaining the process very entertaining.
The line is out the door on the weekend mornings I drive by. Bird Rock is still a quiet and serene place to walk and get food and coffee a few blocks from the ocean.
