Hi, I’m Mark Stambler, and  I’m the baker behind Pagnol Boulanger. I named my company after the renowned French writer and director Marcel Pagnol, whose stories of village life in the south of France in the early 20th century have captured the culinary imagination of certain parts of California.

I employ traditional French methods to make my breads, doing most all the work by hand. I use distilled water, sea salt, organic grains and flour, and wild yeast. I mill all my organic whole-grain flour right before I bake with it, the best way to retain the flavor of the grain.
