Bread keeps its Italian heritage in Oelwein
Dominic Greco settled in Oelwein in 1901 and his son John continues the family crusty tradition. Every Saturday they bake over 50 loaves in a domed backyard oven, aided by wife Ella and son-in-law Jim Klink. The process begins Friday night with 20 pounds of flour and three sachets of yeast, then hours of hand kneading and careful oven firing.
