Frequently Asked Questions

Bread Info

Yep, my breads are naturally leavened (aka sourdough) with no commercial yeast. The only exception are some specialty breads and pastries that are offered from time to time (rest assured that I’ll always note it in in the ingredients list).

Yes! I strive to use only organic ingredients in my entire operation. Ingredients are always listed in the item’s description, too.

All good breads must stale. A naturally leavened bread keeps anywhere from 4-6 days before turning rock solid. At that point, you can grate it for homemade bread crumbs, or make them into croutons or bread pudding or strata… get creative!

The bread keeps best in the paper bag provided and left on the counter. You can also transfer the loaf to a more airtight container (such a plastic bag) for longer keeping (and softer crust) – just be careful about condensation and look out for mold!

Galettes keep for 3-5 days in the fridge.
