1. What is a microbakery?
A microbakery is a small-scale, home-based bakery that focuses on artisanal, handcrafted breads and baked goods made in small batches. Everything is baked fresh to order, ensuring high quality and attention to detail.
2. What types of bread do you offer?
We specialize in naturally leavened sourdough breads, including classic sourdough loaves, 7-grain, and various specialty flavors. Other baked goods, like rolls and sourdough pastries, may also be available.
3. How do I place an order?
To place an order, simply contact us by 7:00 PM on Wednesdays for Saturday morning pickups.
4. Where do I pick up my order?
All pickups are done on Saturday mornings from our home-based microbakery. Address and pickup details will be provided upon order confirmation.
5. Can I request custom orders?
Yes! We are happy to accommodate custom orders or special requests when possible. We also love experimenting with what sourdough can do! Please reach out to discuss your needs.
6. Do you offer gluten-free or other dietary-friendly options?
Currently, we do not offer gluten-free bread. However, sourdough bread can be easier to digest for those with mild gluten sensitivity because of its natural fermentation process. During fermentation, wild yeast and bacteria break down gluten and starches, making the bread gentler on the gut. It’s not gluten-free but may be better tolerated by those with sensitivities due to reduced gluten content and improved nutrient absorption.
7. How do I store my sourdough bread?
For best freshness, keep your bread wrapped in a clean, dry kitchen towel or in a bread box at room temperature. To keep it longer, slice and freeze it, then toast slices as needed.
8. Can I reheat or refresh my bread?
Yes! To refresh a loaf, place it in a 375°F oven for about 5-10 minutes. This will restore some of its crispiness and warmth.
9. Why does your bread taste different from store-bought bread?
Our bread is naturally leavened through a long fermentation process, which develops deep, complex flavors and a pleasant tang. We also use organic, high-quality ingredients for a healthier, more flavorful loaf.
