Dough Re Mi

Hamilton's Finest Since 2018

Artisan Soul

Slow-fermented sourdoughs and hand-laminated pastries. Baked fresh every morning on James Street North.

Grain, Water, Time,
and Patience.

Dough Re Mi wasn't born in a boardroom; it began in 2018 with a single jar of wild yeast and an obsession with the perfect crumb. The Martinez family didn't just want to bake bread for Hamilton, we wanted to revive the lost art of slow fermentation in a city that moves too fast.

We reject shortcuts. There are no commercial yeasts or stabilizers in our kitchen. Our signature "Mother" starter is fed twice daily, 365 days a year. It is this relentless commitment to the 48-hour process that gives our loaves their shatteringly crisp crust and complex, tangy interior.

"I drive in from Ancaster every Saturday just for the Almond Croissants. They shatter when you bite them—exactly like in Paris. Get there early!"

"We ordered our wedding cake here and it was stunning. Not too sweet, perfectly moist, and the floral decorations were art. Best bakery in Hamilton, period."

"The Sourdough is the real deal. Tangy, chewy crust, open crumb. I buy two loaves a week for my family in Westdale. Highly recommend."
