Bethencourt Bakehouse

Last summer, I accidentally stumbled upon this incredible bread at a local barn shop off the highway—and I’ve been hooked ever since. The owner bakes truly exceptional organic sourdough from scratch, even milling his own organic grains to preserve maximum nutrition. There’s no added yeast here—just real, traditional country sourdough made the way it’s meant to be. The process takes days, allowing the dough to slowly ferment and transform into something genuinely out of this world. The result? Deep flavor, perfect texture, and bread that’s as nourishing as it is delicious. And it doesn’t stop there—he also makes an amazing sourdough focaccia, cookies, and other baked goods, all crafted with the same sourdough starter and care. Honestly, I can’t eat store-bought bread anymore. This bread i

Every bread Gonzalo makes is a hit! His breads are flavorful, with a perfect texture inside and out. His sourdoughs are amazing, and the incredible Spanish- style Candeal is a must-have with soups and stews. It can be hard to find exceptional quality, wholesome, and well-baked fresh bread, but Bethencourt checks all of those boxes!

The baked goods here are amazing. We’ve tried several of the different breads and loved them all. We have a student from Germany living with us and this is the most authentic European and German type breads we have found for him, their bread is so much better there than what we can usually find here. Our last order had this German student raving how excellent it was. We’ve also tried the Belgian chocolate chip cookies and our entire family says they are the best cookies they’ve ever had. Highly recommend this bakery for high quality delicious baked breads and treats.

I'm convinced...Gonzalo makes some of the best bread in the state of Massachusetts. While searching for bread for a Christmas gathering, I came across Bethencourt Bakehouse - and I am exceedingly glad I did. The quality dominates most other options in the region, and the small-batch, grassroots mentality is something sorely lacking in society at large nowadays, both in the sense of adventure it provides but also the sense of community. Gonzalo is a wizard at the art of baking. The traditional sourdough has a beautiful crust, and a springy, chewy, slightly tangy crumb. Balanced and subtle enough to convert even those who claimed 'they didn't like sourdough' at the beginning of a meal. The cranberry sourdough takes the above and bends the formula with fresh, juicy cranberries in the mix. A

I have had the pleasure of tasting Gonzalo’s tremendous chocolate chip cookies and to say they were impeccable is an understatement. The texture, hint of salt, and crispy to moist ratio has had me dying for more. I can be very picky when it comes to baked goods and needless to say, Bethencourt Bakehouse has exceeded my expectations. 10/10 would and will recommend!!
