$60 for a loaf of sourdough. 👀
I’ve had so many messages asking what I think, so here’s my take.
I’m not against expensive bread. I’m not against experimentation. And I’m certainly not against getting people talking about bread; anything that makes people care more about good bread is a win in my book.
But it did make me stop and think about what we’re actually trying to build.
For me, sourdough has always been about simplicity: flour, water, salt and time. Taking those simple ingredients and making something so good that people genuinely want it in their lives.
Not just once because it’s unusual.
But every week because they love it.
Because there’s a difference between creating a moment and creating a product with longevity.
And I think the really interesting question for any food business is:
Are we creating something people want to talk about, or something they want to come back for?
I know which one I’m building. 🍞
