Bread the way it was meant to be

It started with reading a label. One day we turned over a loaf of store-bought bread and actually looked: preservatives, dough conditioners, added sugars, a list of things nobody's grandmother would call food. Bread needs four ingredients. So we stopped buying it and learned to make it ourselves, the slow way, the way it was made for generations.

Flour, water, salt, and a wild sourdough culture we've kept alive ever since. That is the entire ingredient list.

At first the loaves were just for our table. Then family wanted in. Then the neighbors started showing up whenever the smell of a fresh bake drifted down the street. Every loaf is still mixed, shaped, scored, and baked by hand in our home kitchen in Granada Hills, slow fermented because that is what makes sourdough real. And now there's a place at the table for you.

This is cottage food, made with love and fire, from our family to yours.

Small batch. Made to order.

Every loaf starts as our classic sourdough: flour, water, salt, and wild culture. No preservatives - ever - and nearly everything we bake with comes from local farmers markets and growers. Make it yours with up to two additions at $3 each - blueberry, chocolate, herb mix, parmesan, cheddar, jalapeño, or everything bagel. Additions rotate with the seasons and are subject to substitution. Prefer a soft white loaf? Our sandwich bread ($10) is baked to order like everything else - it's just not sourdough.
