This week's pickup will be all about the classic sourdough! 🤎

My brother-in-law is getting married this weekend, so I’m keeping things simple with just water, flour and salt. Three ingredients, a little time, and the fantastic beauty of real sourdough.

Take a loaf home for your family, and maybe grab an extra to gift to a neighbor, a friend, or someone you’ve been hoping to connect with. There’s something special about sharing good bread with the people around us!

Love, Kelsey the Baker

Ciabatta lovers! This one's for you 🤎
I have extra dough for tomorrow's bake day and plan to make a limited number of ciabatta sandwich rolls for pickup.

Our ciabatta will come as a four-count of sandwich rolls - a lightly crisp, golden crust and a soft, airy interior full of beautiful, irregular holes. Made for piling high with your favorite sandwich fillings, dipping in olive oil, or serving alongside a cozy meal!

Simple, versatile, and deliciously chewy, these rolls bring a little artisan bakery goodness to your table.

Only $6 for four rolls - making this an absolute bargain. Would love to make some for your table!

I had no idea what was in store for my life on October 7, 2016, but I knew that whatever it was, I wanted to do it with him. 💛

Ten years of growth, hardship, joy, and so much love. I can hardly believe we’ve made it to this milestone. Ten years of building a life together, weathering the hard seasons, celebrating the good ones, and somehow becoming the people we are today.

Two years ago, I found myself in a very dark place. Looking back, I can see the Lord’s hand in so much of what happened during that season. He met me in the middle of my despair and, in ways I never could have planned, used Rise & Flourish to help pull me back out. Baking for you, neighbor, helped me find a part of myself again.

What started as a little bread-baking hobby became something I never could have imagined, and I’m so grateful for the way the Lord has used it to shape this season of our lives. And I’m incredibly grateful for all of you who have been part of that story.

Thank you for helping us reach this milestone together. Your support has meant more to me than you probably realize.

Here’s to many more years together 🥂

A little tutorial on how I freeze my sourdough… featuring my very helpful 3-year-old assistant. 😂

If you have a loaf that you aren’t going to finish right away, freezing it is such an easy way to keep it fresh! I usually let the loaf cool completely, slice it, and then freeze the slices in a freezer bag. That way, I can pull out exactly what I need instead of thawing the whole loaf.

When you’re ready to eat it, let it thaw at room temperature. And if you want to bring that fresh-baked texture back, a spritz of water and a few minutes in a warm oven does the trick!

Also, please enjoy the completely unplanned commentary from my 3-year-old throughout this entire tutorial. 😂 Apparently freezing bread is a two-person job around here.

Hope this helps you make those loaves last a little longer! 🤎🥖

Guys if you keep blessing my business like this I'm gonna need another wall for more bread!

So thankful for you, neighbor. For the fun I get to have baking a quality product for your home. For the camaraderie of a local business to its local community. For helping me bring more REAL bread to you.

I'm completely sold out for today 💛 you keep blowing my prior goals out of the water. See you at the porch, friends.
