Avalon knows a thing or two about bread. The business, which operates two locations in Detroit and one in Ann Arbor, pulled the first loaves from its hearthstone oven in 1997. Today, it welcomes more than 1,000 customers through its doors each day. Get a taste of what Avalon does best with the recipe for its charcuterie board-worthy crostini.
