Back To Basics

💙 A Bittersweet Goodbye 💙

This isn't an easy post to write, but it's time to say goodbye.

As many of you know, we're moving halfway across the country, which means Back To Basics will be closing in Nebraska. Orders are now officially closed, and we won't be attending any more markets or events in the Lincoln or Omaha area.

When I started this little bakery, I had no idea how much love and support it would receive. Every loaf, every cinnamon roll, every cookie, every order, every kind word, and every familiar face at the markets meant more than you'll ever know.

Thank you for believing in me and making this dream a reality. Thank you for showing up week after week, sharing my business with your friends and family, and trusting me to be part of your tables and celebrations. Because of you, what started as a dream became something I will cherish forever.

While this chapter is coming to an end, I'm incredibly grateful for every moment and every person who supported Back To Basics along the way.

From the bottom of my heart... thank you. ❤️

Until we meet again,
Kierstene 🥖✨

How it started ➡️ how it ended ✨

Still trying to process this amazing day at Aloha Omaha 🥹🌺 I baked over 300 items (my biggest bake EVER) and you all showed up and SOLD me OUT of 300+ items 😭💛

From the early prep to the last sale, every moment was worth it. I’m beyond grateful for every single person who stopped by, supported, shared, and believed in my little baking dream 🫶🏼

This is just the beginning… 💫

Which sourdough style are you? 🥖✨

From the perfect golden crunch of a classic grilled cheese to a quick and cheesy sourdough pizza boat, our loaves are the ultimate canvas for your kitchen creations. Whether you’re keeping it simple with butter or stacking it high with your favorite deli meats, there’s no wrong way to sourdough.

Nothing better than letting your words do the talking 💙

We’ve been getting the sweetest messages and reviews lately about our baked goods, and we had to share a few of them with you 🥹🍞🍪 Every cinnamon roll, loaf of sourdough, bagel, banana bread, and cookie is made with care—and hearing how much you’re loving them is everything to us.

If you’ve ever ordered from us, leaving a review means more than you know. It helps a small business like ours grow, and it lets others know what Back To Basics is all about 🫶

This is simple baking, made from scratch, with love in every bite—and your feedback keeps it going 💙

Now tell us… what’s your favorite Back To Basics treat? 👇

This week’s menu drop is here 🍞✨

We’re keeping it simple and sticking to the favorites only this round as we get ready for a big event this Saturday! That means you’ll still find all the staples you love: cinnamon rolls, sourdough bread, bagels, banana bread, and of course—cookies 🍪

We also have some fun specials lined up for the weekend, so stay tuned 👀

If you’re coming out to Aloha Omaha and want to make sure you don’t miss out on your favorites, we highly recommend placing an order ahead of time!

⏰ Orders close May 1 at 9:00 PM

We bought this vintage Guinness chalkboard last year to use at markets for our menu… and while finally giving it a refresh, we found this hidden underneath 🖤✨

A whole piece of art just waiting to be discovered.

Moments like this are exactly what Back To Basics is about—finding beauty in simple things and giving them new life 🍀
