In addition to its three existing Valley shops, Proof Bread plans to bring its bread to downtown Phoenix and Gilbert. “The growth has been crazy,” says Jon Przybyl, co-owner of Proof. Proof Bread was founded in 2014 by Jared Allen. Przybyl and his wife Amanda Abou-Eid were loyal customers who bought the business in 2017, initially baking out of their garage.

It’s paska – the almost cake-like Ukrainian bread she’s enjoyed on the holiday for as long as she can remember. “It’s the main thing we have at the Easter breakfast,” explains Terebova, who emigrated to the U.S. from Kyiv with her son in 2022 amid the war with Russia. Now, she’ll share pasky, the term for many paska, with the Valley through Proof Bread.

The couple made the drive from Chandler for two reasons.
