My sourdough journey started at the end of 2023 when I was gifted some sourdough starter from a friend. I stuck it in my fridge and didn't do anything with it for about 3 months. I set a new year's goal of learning to make bread and after watching a dozen videos online, I gained the courage to make my first loaf. After that, I couldn't stop. I began to make bread loaves, english muffins, bagels, cinnamon rolls, you name it. I made charcuterie boards for clients with my own sourdough crackers and became slowly obsessed with all things sourdough!

 

After making dozens, if not hundreds, of loaves in 2024, and with the encouragement of friends and family behind me, I decided to open up a cottage bakery out of my home. When I started to do research, I noticed there were no black-owned bread bakeries in my vicinity and no bread bakeries that serve the 'SWAT' at all! I was shocked!

 

Long story long, I am super excited to open up this bakery and serve my community with delicious homemade bread.
