Royal Bakers

The story of Royal Bakers begins in Stuttgart, Germany with a man named Israfil Miah, known to the world simply as “Max.” Max spent his time from 1979 to 1983 working at various bakeries throughout the city, learning the trade inside out. At the end of his time there, he felt that he needed to supplement his hand-on experience with theoretical knowledge of the baking process.

Max made his way to the San Francisco Baking Institute to take artisan baking courses. Still hungry to learn, he enrolled in Kansas State University’s Techniques of French Bread Continuing Education program, taught by the renowned Raymond Calvel. Inspired by Professor Calvel’s knowledge and experiences baking in Paris, Max set out to work for a top bakery in the United States. After working for several smaller bakeries in New York, he found the opportunity to work as a Product Manager at Tribeca Oven Inc. His time there gave him the invaluable hands-on experience of both creating artisan bread and managing others to do the same.
