I never reccomend that restaurants try to make thier own bread. On the professional level it is a skill and area of cooking that is completely different from other food preparation. With artisan breads so popular it is what the public is coming to expect. Even fine dining estasblishements end up with a sub par product. The reason to make good bread (and I am speaking of properly made artisan crusty bread) you need space dedicated to it, proper ovens, mixers, and a schedule that would make the most seasoned line cook cry.

I don't know what level of food your restaurant is aiming for, or if you are trying for more of a bakery aproach. Good bread can make all the difference in a sandwich business Why not find a local artisan bakery to supply you with bread. Even pastries, that way you can focus on the food knowing that you will have a supperior product to show off your talents.
