News & Updates

We recently had the privilege of being featured on a coupe podcasts at the end of 2025 and beginning of 2026! During this episode of Millenial Minimalists, we talked about how minimalism has been a core part of our lives, travels, and baking philosophy. During this episode of Suzy May Wander, we talk about family, travel, and adventures with our starter, Gandalf!

We've published a couple new articles on our Sourdough Lifestyle substack over the past couple weeks! The first is a r ecap of our travels to Hawaii , where we visited volcanoes, baked in a blazing hot oven, and learned about lots of all new ingredients. The second is a post about how sourdough swirl breads are a perfect outlet for creativity ! We go through some techniques tips and how to come up with ideas for interesting fillings.

During our travels in Japan , we learned about the philosophy of wabi-sabi. It is the idea that there's beauty in imperfection and impermanence, and we thought that was the perfect philosophy for sourdough bread! Take a look at our substack post and see how to approach sourdough as the perfect embodiment of embracing the beauty of imperfection!

In this article, we recount our first farmer's market and some big lessons learned from the early years of our bakery . We also go into detail about why we love the humble and versatile sandwich loaf shape and why keeping it simple with the format let's you focus on what's way more fun: getting creative with flavor!

A sandwich does not exist without bread. Bread is an ingredient in its own right, the crucial component that literally defines a sandwich. Some sandwiches might call for a special bread shape — a bun, hoagie roll, or baguette, perhaps — but outside of that, the flavor of the bread is almost universally the same. Bland, uninspired, and just sort of there , like elevator music or junk mail. Read the rest over on the Sourdough Lifestyle Substack !
