I’ve waited for years to share this story. 💕 Our sourdough love story. 🥐🥖❤️(So cheesy… I know.)
We’ve shared it in our Sourdough 101 classes, because truthfully, this story has inspired every class, event and loaf that comes out of our Bakehouse.
It’s about a loaf that shaped the future. Let’s rewind to April 22nd, 2016.
It was the night before Ben and I eloped in Hong Kong 😳. We took a sourdough bread class.
Honestly, we wanted to do something memorable before we got married. Little did we know we were literally BAKING sourdough into our partnership!
Ben also had a strong agenda with doing this class… and that was to help me change my mind about bread.
At the time, I was a hard ❌NO❌ to bread. Turns out I just hadn’t met sourdough.
In the class, we learned to shape, mix, stretch, and bake our bread. We also were sent home loaves to bake the next morning…
👰🤵Marriage morning!!
Before our wedding appt, Ben got up early to bake the bread, before we ran off to get married.
Yesterday celebrated our 10 year anniversary… ❤️❤️
And with 3 kids, 3 Bakehouse locations, and a life we never could’ve imagined created here in Wisconsin while living those years in Hong Kong…
We’re feeling grateful, supported, and stronger than ever.
Thanks for keeping this sourdough love story alive by walking through our doors, getting your bread at Festival and other partner stores…
And most importantly… cheering us on along the way.
