The renaissance of small- and medium-size bakeries in the United States and Canada in the late 20th century is directly related to the popularity of hearth breads.

There are several bakeries in the US that trace their role in the resurgence of hearth bread in the 1970s to their travels to France, particularly to communes related to the Community of the Ark where bread labor is part of their philosophy. Is this the origin of the renaissance of hearth bread in the US? Another data point suggests that hearth bread (or its equivalent) baking culture in the US died out post-WWII, although it isn't explained why. I am reminded of how the British pineapple gardeners joined or were drafted into WWI and were wiped out. Did something similar happen in the US? The example that is given is that of city bakers who disappeared from New York tenements. The explanation given was that they just died out and nobody replaced them.
