Miami baking splits cleanly between the Cuban panaderia tradition and a newer wave of natural-leavened and bagel shops. Vicky Bakery, the family Cuban chain founded in 1972, carries the founding recipe at its Miami Lakes location, while Zak the Baker in Wynwood became the city's reference for natural sourdough after opening in 2012. El Bagel on Biscayne Boulevard in MiMo gave Miami its first serious bagel identity, rounding out a scene that runs from pastelitos to slow-fermented loaves.
