If you’ve been there, you already know it, but now the rest of the country does, too: Gusto Bread is making some of the best breads and pastries you’ll ever eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outstanding panader\u00eda on Fourth Street earned a spot this week in a New York Times article listing “22 of the Best Bakeries Across the U.S. Right Now<\/a>.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since starting Gusto in 2017, Arturo Enciso and Ana Bel\u00e9n Salatino have been using Indigenous traditions and inspirations to elevate already stellar sourdough bread and unique pastries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their sourdough Pan de Muerto for instance, which we wrote about in 2020<\/a>, recalls the bread Enciso’s father used to make every year but uses freshly milled fennel and zest from oranges bought at a local farmer’s market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The New York Times recommends the Nixtamal Queen, which \u2014 in the same vein, takes the beloved kouign-amann pastry and somehow improves upon it by adding sourdough and nixtamalized corn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before landing in the Times, Gusto had already won accolades from Food & Wine<\/a>\u00a0and the James Beard Awards<\/a>, but it’s nice to see an even bigger audience learn about the amazing food coming out of Long Beach that \u2014 in this case \u2014 started as a sourdough baking hobby<\/a> that’s grown into a nationally recognized business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
