“Hot Bread Kitchen bakes up the widest variety of international breads and sweets in the city: multigrain pullman loaves, parker house rolls, Moroccan m’sen, naan, tortillas, challah, miche, and hot dog buns all come out of the bakery’s ovens.”
“But owner Jessamyn Rodriguez’s business is as much a social justice enterprise as it is an international wholesale bakery. Each item is made by a woman who brought her skills, culture, and language (and sometimes recipes) to a job that comes with its own training program on how to work in a production bakery, manage a team, and run a business. Hot Bread Kitchen’s wares are found in hundreds of markets across the city. But the bakery’s retail shop inside Spanish Harlem’s historic La Marqueta is worth a visit. There, the smells of fresh loaves and sweets greet the neighborhood each morning, Monday through Friday, starting at 9 a.m.”
