Not every loaf is picture-perfect, and that’s okay! ❤️

This Jalapeño Cheddar Sourdough didn’t come out quite the way I envisioned. It may not be my prettiest loaf, but the flavor is absolutely there! 🌶️🧀

One thing I love about sourdough is that every bake teaches me something new. Even when a loaf isn’t my best visually, it’s still made from scratch with patience, quality ingredients, and a whole lot of love.

Taste test verdict? Delicious. 😋

Sometimes progress looks like learning, adjusting, and baking another loaf tomorrow.

🌾 Important Payment Policy Update – Melly Sue Micro Bakery 🌾

To protect my small business from fraudulent and fake orders, all orders will require payment in full before preparation and fulfillment effective immediately.

As a home-based micro bakery, every loaf, cookie, bagel, and baked good is made fresh to order. Unfortunately, scammers and no-show orders can result in wasted ingredients, time, and resources. Requiring payment upfront helps ensure that every order placed is a committed order. Many cottage bakeries and online ordering platforms use the same approach of requiring payment before preparation begins.

Spent my Saturday in the kitchen baking for my family today ❤️

Today’s lineup included:
🍌 Non-sourdough banana bread
🍫 Two double chocolate chip sourdough loaves
🍪 Sourdough discard cookies
🍞 Cinnamon raisin sourdough discard sandwich bread

There’s just something special about a house full of warm bread, chocolate, cinnamon, and fresh baked goodies. Baking has become one of my favorite ways to slow down, show love, and make memories with the people I care about most.

The kitchen may be messy, but the hearts and bellies are full 🥰
