Okay, I know a little ✨consistency✨ in the bake day schedule would be nice right about now, but I promise once I start sleeping again, taking my supplements every day, get my schedule under control, read all the books in my TBR pile, teach my toddler that it’s ok not to be held 24/7, balance the budget, finish all my housework and home repairs, and reduce my screen time…. I’ll get right on it 😮‍💨😅 As a type-A-one-woman-show small business owner it’s a tough season. I have so many things I want to try, events I want to plan, loaves I want to bake. It’ll happen, just not right now. Right now, I appreciate those of you who are hanging with me, ordering bread when I have it, giving me grace when I don’t. Y’all are the best.
P.S. pic 2 is a sausage, egg, and cheese focaccia that I think would make the perfect brunch sandwich. Yes? No? Who wants to try it?

That’s a wrap on 2025! Thanks for letting me bake for you this year! Lots of changes, lots of growth, lots of love. Incredibly thankful for this community. Looking forward to new and exciting things in 2026. Hope everyone has a joyful and restful holiday season. See y’all next year 🎄🎁

We’re a little obsessed with this flour flower loaf 🌺 🍞 Been tinkering on this sandwich formula for quite a while and I’m finally happy with the results. A huge thank you to fellow bakers and for their input. Almost half and half SuperSprout sprouted whole wheat and organic bread flour, 90% hydration made with a whole wheat stiff starter. Add a bunch more bread nerd variables and you have a super soft, nutritious loaf that stays fresh for a long time. And it tastes so good that kids even eat the crusts. Shaped in two halves to share or pop in the freezer (or let’s be real, eat immediately). These loaves will be available sliced for extra convenience. Can’t wait for y’all to try it!

We know nothing can compare to THE Blueberry Muffin (proclaimed by the little baker to be “the best muffin I’ve ever had ever in my whole life”) But when those sell out (and they will) at .stretch, might we suggest something a little….Joyride? This Saturday! Breakfast Sausage and Cheese Focaccia and this Sourdough Cinnamon Not-a-Roll. What is it, exactly? Cinnamon roll, deconstructed. If a cinnamon roll, focaccia, and monkey bread had a baby, this would be it. Soft enough to use as a pillow, too good to sleep on. Find it at at the .stretch pop-up from 7-11 am or until it’s all gone ✌🏼☕️💛

Unfortunately, I love recipe development but really don’t enjoy doing math. Please, no one look at my calculator history! Also, praise be for percentagecalculator.net, making my baker’s (math) life easier every day. Testing some incredible flours from including their SuperSprout sprouted wheat and organic bread flours. Taste, texture, aroma are off the charts amazing. Can’t wait to share a few of these with y’all in the future 🌾🌾🌾

With a little magic and a lot of hard work, Joyride Baking Co celebrated three years in operation this September! What an incredible, beautiful, change-filled three years it’s been. I’m eternally grateful to you, my customers, who make this dream of sharing good bread a reality every week. I named my business Joyride to reflect one of my main preoccupations in life—finding joy in the journey. I’m so glad I get to share this particular journey of my sourdough practice with all of you. Here’s to three more 🥂🍞🌾

We ask “how long have you been _____?” Gardening, baking, knitting, training ju jitsu. We equate length of time with mastery of a skill. But what I really want to know is, with how much passion and obsession are you pursuing your interest? How much joy does it bring you? Are you enjoying the journey? Have you realized that perfection is an illusion and we only get this one life to spend doing what we love with the people we love?

So what does this have to do with bread? Everything! Break bread with the people you care about. Bake the loaf and forget to care about what it looks like. Nourish your body. Find meaning along the way.
