23.01.2022 Regular bread coming off the cooling line. $1.50 a packet since 2007.

22.01.2022 Maeve has been a huge supporter of our bakery and the greatest proponent of the yummy benefits of multicultural Australia. So it was a pleasure to have her and the food Safari crew in to film our bakery as part of the fire series coming out later this year

22.01.2022 Baalbek Bakery Canterbury gives this sensational dessert by Lauren Murdoch a crunchy lift - bread is fried quickly and rolled in cinamon sugar: Cardamon Yoghurt with mango, strawberry and apricot compote. Images by Giovanni Portelli Photography

22.01.2022 http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p02kvh5m Our Rick Stein adventure didn't make it onto the programme, but being the hip outfit we are, the segment ended up as a 'web exclusive' on the bbc2 website.

21.01.2022 On 24 June 1977, my uncles Dikran, Manuel, Lutfi and John Gergi together with my dad Elias started trading in Australia as Baalbek Bakery. They eventually expanded to 3 stores before my dad retired 12 years ago. While each store is now independently owned, we stand on the shoulders of their monumental efforts, gifting us this wonderful product. Today I paid a visit to each of the surviving uncles to thank them for their guidance - pictures below. Finally, the original bread whisperer and master baker, my uncle dikran, passed away too early in life and this happy moment is tempered by the memory of his loss.

21.01.2022 Just in time production method at work (thanks mr chidiac yr 11 economics) with just 80 kgs left in our internal silo at 645am, this flour delivery came in handy.

20.01.2022 Today marked an absolute highlight of our baking lives - a visit to BFB in Temora with our flour supplier Allied. We saw wheat in its early stage of development as well as harvested grain in bunker storage, ready for shipment to millers such as Allied who then produce the finished product we use in our mix. We also witnessed Australian agricultural ingenuity in these parts where land is so beautifully utilised by BFB without the assistance of irrigation. Inspirational!

19.01.2022 One of our favourite places and neighbourhood gem Plunge No.46 turns 10 years old and it's better than ever! Coffee alchemy beans, an outtacontrol 'egg in the middle' for brekkie and of course, Baalbek bread in their Kafta and Falafel wraps.

19.01.2022 http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au//story-fnov1g0j-122714880 Our bread is soon to be used by another great chef in a beautiful location - just in time to soak up the summer sun (and juicy skewers).

18.01.2022 The legendary Wisam hand partitioning the Baalbek Nano range

18.01.2022 http://www.smh.com.au//taco-drone-could-take-fast-food-to- I can see the future of Baalbek Bread Deliveries. I'll be standing on the landing every morning: "fly my pretties, fly".

17.01.2022 Today we had the privilege of welcoming the BBC to film us as part of a World on a Plate episode on Australian food helmed by Rick Stein. These are a few happy snaps featuring the great man himself, daddy, some of our magnificent packers and my partner in crime Adam

17.01.2022 Today's bread is just about as perfect as leb bread can be!

16.01.2022 Such an honour to be part of the Strode Family Dinner tonight. Jeremy Strode was a dead set legend and his favourite ingredient was Parsley, which made him even dearer to our Lebanese hearts. Lauren Murdoch crisped up our Lebanese bread and served it with some sensational Spanish anchovies on a cloud of parsley olive and caper to make this an unforgettable canapé.

16.01.2022 This 10 storey tower being constructed for shipment to Tassie is coming up so impeccably, I had visions for my future resting place.

14.01.2022 A little project to turn a crudely stapled A4 document into something a little more pretty has resulted in a new look for the bakery with photography by Giovanni Portelli and design by Lyndal Harris.

12.01.2022 So good that chef finds a use for our Lebanese Bread as replacement spatula with the pate!

11.01.2022 A shockingly amateurish photo of a special gourmet safari visit by the folks at Goodman Fielder.

11.01.2022 Baalbek at the Middle Eastern Brunch, part of good food month, Eveleigh Markets

10.01.2022 And because we were super well behaved, chef brought out a little extra dessert, a leb bread parcel topped with gold leaf - nice way to end Giovanni Portelli's birthday. Images by Giovanni Portelli Photography

10.01.2022 Just a stone's throw beyond Marrickville, Dulwich Hill is filled with some incredible eats. Like Baalbek Bakery's fresh flatbread for instance. Here's our guide to eating in the area. http://bit.ly/1eLbjXJ

09.01.2022 The amazing Emma's Snack Bar has a pretty stunning view from the kitchen!

05.01.2022 Local street artists making an impact at Baalbek. This ingenious re-imagining of the light pole incorporates an object of control but at the same time evokes a soccer drill in honour of fifa13 GOOOOOAAAAL! Best enjoyed ironically listening to the presets single "ghost"!

04.01.2022 Baalbek's official photographer, Giovanni Portelli has noted that the top butt of our bundles of carry bags (which remain behind once the bag is dispensed for packing) forms a smiley face. Not since American Beauty has such a lovely metaphor been associated with plastic bag use.

04.01.2022 http://www.au.timeout.com//67/charlies-pizzeria-and-bakery Our next door neighbour, and baker of the ultimate haloumi pide, Charlie's gets an honourable mention in timeout.

03.01.2022 First run of Lebanese bread in honour of the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs - our next batch tomorrow should be a darker shade of blue.

02.01.2022 Good luck nano, a 600 degree celsius surprise awaits you

01.01.2022 Baalbek Bakery is going to the Arab Film Festival, with films from Lebanon, Egypt, Iraq, Algeria, Morocco, Palestine and Saudi Arabia

01.01.2022 Baalbek becomes a sailing aid together with peanut butter (australian owned) and a couple of cold ones.
