If you love fresh-baked sourdough bread, Incline Bak'd is for you. Specializing in stromboli, focaccia bread sandwiches and focaccia bread pizza, they bake their own bread in-house using traditional methods and the finest ingredients. Their sourdough bread, from their own starter, is naturally leavened using unfermented beer wort combined with organic unbleached flour to capture wild yeasts and bacteria from the local environment, giving it a distinctive flavor and texture that can't be matched by commercial bread. You could say they have perfected the art of sourdough, which is easily disgested (low in gluten though not gluten-free), has a low glycemic index and provides probiotics for gut health. In addition to pizzas and sandwiches, Incline Bak'd offers salads, sides, desserts, beer and wine. Ask about their daily happy hour specials.
