This week's Bird has landed... Hot Honey Cheddar. 🍯🧀🔥
Made with hot honey mixed right into the dough, topped with thick-cut sharp cheddar baked until perfectly crisp, and finished with an extra drizzle of hot honey for the perfect sweet-meets-savory bite.

Pre-orders are officially OPEN! Orders will remain open until we're sold out.

Sometimes the best things need a little time!

Running Saltbird has been one of the greatest joys, but it's also reminded me how important it is to slow down every once in a while. So after next week's bake, I'm taking a short summer break to rest, recharge, go on vacation with family, and come back inspired for what's ahead!

✨ One last reminder before I go:
• Pre-orders open thid Sunday (7/19) at 12 PM
• Orders will be available for pickup & delivery Friday (7/24) instead of Tuesday!
• Then Saltbird will be taking a little break until pre-orders reopen Sunday (8/9)

Thank you for supporting this little one-woman bakery and allowing me to do what I love. Every order, every kind message, and every recommendation means more than you know.

I can't wait to be back baking for you!

In the mean time any guesses for The Bird of the Week?👀 I'll give you a hint...🍯🌶🧀

The story behind Saltbird 🐦‍⬛✨

I’ve had quite a few people ask where the name Saltbird came from, so I thought I’d share it.

The “Salt” half comes from my love of baking and the simplicity of real ingredients. Salt is the glue that holds everything together. I’ve been baking for as long as I can remember, but discovering sourdough about two years ago completely changed the way I think about food and the kitchen.

Sourdough taught me that incredible things can come from just a few simple ingredients, patience, and trust in the process. It also made me pay closer attention to what goes into the food we eat & keeping things simple has become really important to me.

The “Bird” is even more personal.
Last summer, I lost my dog, Chicken Nugget. He was my everything, and one of his many nicknames was “Bird.” When I started dreaming about this bakery, I knew I wanted a piece of him to come with me.
For me, Bird also represents freedom, growth, and taking a leap of faith... something this journey has required plenty of.

So Saltbird became a name that represents both how I bake and why I finally decided to share it.

Everything that leaves my kitchen is made with simple ingredients, naturally leavened sourdough, and a whole lot of love.

Last in the meet the menu series, the one that barely needs an intro...please welcome:

🥓 THE NOTORIOUS B.I.G. (Bacon Italian Gouda)

A breakfast sandwich dream come true. A favorite to many (ecspecially the Dads - Happy Fathers Day)🤘🏻

Something hearty enough to hold you over, but simple enough to fit into everyday life. Something you can eat at 5am before work, toss in your kid's lunchbox, grab between errands, or shamelessly enjoy in bed at midnight.

Made with thick-cut bacon, Gouda, and Italian seasoning, this one isn't trying to be anything complicated. Just simple ingredients and a bagel that eats like a meal.

Food has a funny way of becoming part of our routines and the little moments in between. I like to think this one fits right in.🖤

👀 pre-orders open in less than an hour. Will The Notorious B.I.G. be making an appearance in your order this week? 🥯🫡

✨️Next in the meet the menu line-up is another fan favorite...🫐 BLUEBERRY CRUNCH🫐

Blueberry bagels deserve better.

Wild blueberries are folded into the dough right before they are kettle-boiled to create the most amazimg jammy center like you'venever had before, then each bagel is topped with thick raw sugar and freeze-dried blueberries for a little crunch and a whole lot of flavor. Sweet, chewy, simple ingredients, and a reminder that some things are worth slowing down!🤘🏻🥯

Next in the line-up meet what I like to call: Brown Suggy Cin. 🤎

She’s got a soft, chewy sourdough center, a crackly cinnamon-brown augar crust, and the kind of flavor that makes you slow down after the first bite. Sweet without being over-the-top and nostalgic without trying too hard.

Toast it with butter, slather on cream cheese, or eat it standing in your kitchen while it’s still warm... I’ve done all three🙋🏼‍♀️

✨ One bite and you’ll understand why this one keeps disappearing from my cooling rack.

If you ever ask me, "Which flavor should I try first?" …this is the one I'm handing you.🍁

Maple Salt & Pepper is exactly the kind of pairing that sparks my joy in the kitchen. I love taking familiar ingredients and putting them together in a way that makes people stop after the first bite and say, "Wait… why does this work so well?"

The maple brings a subtle sweetness, the flaky sea salt keeps everything balanced, and the freshly cracked black pepper lingers just enough to make you reach for another bite. It's more than just a bagel to me..it's an experience, and one I'm always excited to share.🖤🥯🐦‍⬛
