A little indulgence in every slice.

The oven is warming up again… and I’m officially back from my break! ☀️

My levain has been patiently waiting all month, and I’m happy to say it’s now strong, active, and ready to work its magic again!!

My next batch will be this Friday, 07/31
Pre-orders close Wednesday at 9 PM.

You can find the full menu through the link in my bio and reserve your loaf there.

Thank you for giving me time to rest and recharge. I’m so excited to be back in the kitchen baking fresh sourdough for you again! 🤍

Just a little break!
I'll be back soon - promise!

Wait... don't panic! 😅
Don't worry! I just knead a little break!

When I said "This is my final bake," I meant my final bake before a little summer break.

The Local Loaf will be closed from June 20 through July 30 while I head home in Brazil to visit my family, recharge, and enjoy some time with my folks ❤️

👉🏻The next pre-order window will be in July, 28 - 29 for porch pick-up on July 31.

Thank you so much for all your support! It means a lot to me 🥰

Holiday heads up! 🎄✨

Friday’s batch is cancelled this week because I’ll be at the Bazaar on Saturday starting at 11am.

Come early — I usually sell out faster than Santa’s cookies on Christmas Eve! 😄

And no worries… the Bazaar is right here in the same neighborhood where you usually pick up your orders!

There will be lots of festive vendors, yummy food, and all the cozy holiday vibes.
Come grab your sourdough and enjoy the Christmas spirit with us! 🎅🥖💫
