"Led by brother-sister duo Evrim and Evin Dogu (who received James Beard Award-semifinalist status in 2019 and 2020), Sub Rosa Bakery takes ‘homemade’ to new extremes: They “mill their own stone-ground flour from Southern-grown grains and bake homemade bread in a wood-fired oven,” writes Hannah Hayes for Southern Living. “Evin's morning selection of delicious chocolate croissants and pastries filled with fig and Manchego cheese provides reason enough to schedule a wake-up call.”. Sub Rosa Bakery owners Evin and Evrim Dogu"
