The Flour Potts Bakery

The Flour Potts Bakery My name is Chelsie Potts. I began my sourdough journey in May of 2024, in just a few short months my requests have grown tremendously.

I make sourdoughbread, cookies, bagels, and more! I also make goodies that arent sourdough. 🍞🥯🍪

I just can’t resist these Sourdough Asiago Bagels 🥯🧀

I’m always thankful when someone orders them because, let’s be honest… I always make extra for my family. 😂 They make the BEST pizza bagels!

And I’m especially excited about these because I get to use the pizza sauce I made from veggies straight out of my garden and canned myself. 🍅

Sourdough Asiago bagels + homemade garden pizza sauce + a little extra cheese = the perfect easy family dinner. 🍕

Thank you for keeping me baking! 🤗

🍕 Homemade pizza night! 🍕

Tonight’s dinner was a delicious homemade sourdough cheese pizza, topped with gooey, golden-browned cheese and my homemade pizza sauce made straight from tomatoes picked fresh from the garden! 🍅

That crispy, chewy sourdough crust + garden-fresh sauce + melty cheese = absolute perfection. 🤤

Nothing fancy… just good ingredients, a little time, and a whole lot of love. 🤍

I just couldn’t wait any longer…. 🍂

Sourdough Pumpkin Bagels + homemade Pumpkin Cream Cheese = the perfect little taste of fall! 🥯

These golden, chewy sourdough bagels are packed with pumpkin flavor and topped with the creamiest homemade pumpkin cream cheese. And honestly… I’m not mad that pumpkin season decided to make an early appearance around here. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Because if we’re being honest, pumpkin season is whenever I say it is. 😉

If you know, you know. 🎃🍂

The kids are almost back in school. 🙌🏼 The mornings are getting a little crisper. And somehow… I’m already thinking about all things fall. (And yes, I may have already decorated 🫣)

I’m usually not a pumpkin spice person, but there are two exceptions that get me every single year: pumpkin cheesecake muffins and pumpkin bagels. 😋 🥯

Needless to say, those are first on my fall baking list! 🍁🍂

🌱🍅 Fresh from the garden salsa! 🍅🌱

There’s just something special about recipes that come with a little family history behind them. ❤️ This salsa recipe came from my cousin, who got it from our grandpa — and I love that a little piece of him is being carried on through something as simple as homemade salsa.

I’ve been trying every year to make a salsa that I actually love (because my husband and I are really picky when it comes to salsa 😅). We don’t like salsa that tastes too “vegetable-y” or like we are just eating a bowl of tomatoes and peppers… and this one is seriously the BEST salsa I have made so far!

Made with fresh garden ingredients, a family recipe, and a whole lot of love — this batch might just become a new yearly tradition. 🌿

Now the hard part… trying not to eat it all with a bag of chips before it even makes it to the pantry. 😂

There’s something so satisfying about pulling a pair of beautiful sourdough loaves out of the oven. 🤍

What most people don’t see is that sourdough can be a little… humbling. 😅 The temperature has to be just right during proofing for sourdough sandwich loaves, and even then, sometimes the dough has other plans. Let’s just say my chickens have enjoyed more “practice loaves” than I’d like to admit! 🐔🍞

But when everything comes together, the result is absolutely worth it—a golden crust, soft and airy inside, and that incredible homemade flavor that only sourdough can deliver!

Every loaf teaches me something new, and every successful bake reminds me why I keep coming back to it. Thanks for following along on this flour-filled journey! ❤️

Some meals just feel like home, and this is one of our family’s favorites. ❤️ Pasta with a rich meat sauce paired with homemade sourdough garlic cheese bread is the kind of comfort food that never lasts long around our table.

The best part? The garlic cheese bread is incredibly simple to make!

🧄 Sourdough Garlic Cheese Bread
• Preheat your oven to 380°F.
• Slice a loaf of plain sourdough bread.
• Spread each slice generously with Garlic Butter (we use Better Butter Garlic Butter).
• Top with shredded mozzarella cheese.
• Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.

Crispy edges, melty cheese, and that perfect sourdough crunch… it’s hard to beat. If you haven’t tried garlic cheese bread on sourdough yet, this is your sign! 🍞🧀✨

Experiment 🧪 Sunday came a little early… and yes, I finally jumped on the Dot Cake bandwagon. 😅

I’ll be honest—I still don’t completely understand the hype… but I have to admit, they’re pretty cute.

So naturally, I had to put my own spin on it and make Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookie Dot Cakes. Also- with dye free sprinkles 🙌🏼🍪✨

That’s one of my favorite parts about baking—trying new trends, experimenting in the kitchen, and seeing what all the excitement is about. Sometimes it’s a hit, sometimes it’s just fun to try!

As I wrap up orders today, I wanted to give everyone a little update!

This coming week is Family Week—or as many of us like to call it, “Dead Week.” 😊 That means I’ll be taking the entire week off from baking!

I’m looking forward to slowing down a bit, tackling some long-overdue projects around the house, and, most importantly, soaking up time with my family before life gets busy again.

Thank you all for your continued support, understanding, and for keeping this little bakery so busy. I’ll be back the following week, refreshed and ready to fill your kitchen with fresh sourdough and baked goodies again!

See you soon! ❤️🍞

There’s just something beautiful about waking up to a sourdough starter that’s bubbly, active, and ready to bake with. 🤍

Okay… maybe coffee comes first ☕️😅… but this is a very close second.

Now it’s time to turn these happy starters into fresh loaves and bagels 🥯 🍞
