Everything we make starts here. The Bakehouse bakes all the sourdough we serve, including every loaf that goes to Penelope Social in Woodbridge.
Each loaf is naturally fermented and baked fresh daily. The same kitchen is also our focacceria, where we build our focaccia sandwiches.
How Penelope started
2017
On May 17, 2017, Vince Stalteri left his job as a construction project manager and engineer to cook.
2018
He started learning sourdough and made his first starter, Anastasia. He nearly lost it, brought it back and renamed it Penelope.
2023
Penelope became the base for every dough at Penelope Social, where the team kept working on recipes from Italy and beyond.
2026
Penelope Bakehouse opens in Scarborough. It bakes the sourdough for both spots and serves focaccia sandwiches and pizza by the slice.
Inside the bakehouse
Everything starts with good bread, and ours starts here.
