A family’s love for baking – and a few special recipes – are at the heart of one of Turlock’s longest running bakeries. Sunrise Bakery specializes in Assyrian pastries, which have become one of the most popular treats around town, and across the nation.It all started when Filameh Givargis simply could not stop baking.“My mother-in-law has always had a passion for baking,” Sargon Eddy, Givargis’ son-in-law and a co-owner of the business, said.Givargis’ recipe for nazook, an Armenian baked good popular with Assyrian people, had developed a bit of a reputation in the community.Sunrise Bakery, then owned just by Givargis and her husband Ebrahim Givargis, first opened in 1991 in the shopping center at the corner of Minnesota Avenue and Geer Road in Turlock. Five years later, with business booming, the bakery moved to the site of the old Polly Ann Bakery in downtown Turlock.In 1998, the bakery moved to its current location on Geer Road, but still bakes out of the old Polly Ann site.
