He thought he was taking simple baking classes to impress his bread-loving girlfriend. He didn’t realize that he had signed up for a certification course and ended up becoming a professional baker. Thankfully for him, they got married and opened up a bakery—Bonanza Bakery. This bakery only sells eight kinds of bread, none of which contain butter, sugar, milk or eggs. What they lack in variety, the place makes up for in no-nonsense methods and simple tastes. Fresh bread is served three times daily at noon, 2pm and 5pm, but these sell like hot cakes, so be sure to arrive on time. For the organic offerings in cranberry walnut, jalapeño cheese, fig walnut at 3,000-5,000won, it’s definitely bargain. One of the best sellers, “I’m Choco,” is a chocolate bread appealing to both those with and without a sweet tooth.
