HOUGH’s MUSHROOM PIE
Hough Bakery’s Mushroom Pie is a savory classic that once graced Thanksgiving tables across Cleveland. Known for its rich, creamy mushroom filling and perfectly flaky crust, this pie was a standout among the bakery’s many offerings.
Even after Hough Bakery closed its doors in 1992, the beloved recipes lived on, keeping the tradition alive for those who remember its iconic flavors. This mushroom pie, with its earthy mushrooms, buttery crust, and hint of nutmeg, remains a cherished favorite for holiday meals and beyond. Ready to bring a bit of Cleveland nostalgia to your table?
