Bread the way it was meant to be

What started as a weekend experiment became the thing we couldn't stop doing. The kitchen fills with warmth at 4 AM. The dough tells you when it's ready. And when someone tries a slice and goes quiet for a second before asking for another, that's the whole point.

No shortcuts. No rushing the rise. Just time, wild culture, and hands that know the dough.

Every loaf is mixed, shaped, scored, and baked by hand in our home kitchen in Granada Hills. We use long, slow fermentation because that is what makes sourdough real, the kind of bread that fills your kitchen with warmth before you even tear into the crust.

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

Small batch. Made to order.

Each loaf is handcrafted in limited batches. We bake what is in season, what inspires us, and what our community asks for.

Chocolate chip sourdough with dark crust and flour scoring

Chocolate Chip Sourdough

Rich dark chocolate folded into our long-ferment dough. Deep, bittersweet, and unlike any bread you've had.

Signature
Jalapeno cheddar sourdough with spiral scoring, sliced to show melted cheddar inside

Jalapeño Cheddar Sourdough

Sharp cheddar and roasted jalapeños baked into a crusty boule. Melted pockets of cheese in every slice.

Fan Favorite
Blueberry sourdough boule with visible blueberries on parchment paper

Blueberry Sourdough

Wild blueberries burst through a tangy, slow-fermented crumb. Sweet and tart with a caramelized crust.

Seasonal
Guava cream cheese sourdough with guava filling oozing from score marks

Guava & Cream Cheese Sourdough

Guava paste and cream cheese swirled through our sourdough. A nod to pastelito de guayaba, in loaf form.

House Special
Olive and garlic sourdough loaves with beautiful scoring, bannetons visible in background

Olive & Garlic Sourdough

Briny green olives and roasted garlic studded through every slice. Savory, aromatic, and built for a cheese board.
