Bread report: still testing 👩‍🍳🍞
This week’s mission: lighter crumb, better rise, and making sure every loaf is worth the wait.

We’re not open yet—but we’re getting closer.

No bread for sale yet… but we do have labels now and suddenly this feels a lot less like a hobby and a lot more like a bakery 👀🍞

Still testing.
Still tweaking.
Still eating a concerning amount of bread.

Follow along to see the menu reveal, launch details, and opening day announcements (and probably more bread than anyone reasonably needs in their feed).

But we’re getting close.

It isn’t just a name. It’s a lineage.

My grandmother’s maiden name was Baker, and she grew up learning to bake from her mother, Lydia. That love of baking quietly carried through generations and somehow found its way back to me.

Before there was a bakery… there was a kitchen.

And before that, there were women in my family who believed food was a way to take care of people.

Great Grandma taught my grandmother.
My grandmother carried it forward.
And now I get to continue it in my own way.

This bakery is my way of honoring that story while building something new.

Pictured are my great grandparents, Lydia and Harold.

Meet the hardest-working member of the team. 😉

Our sourdough starter is the heart of every loaf we bake. Fed regularly and carefully maintained, it’s what gives sourdough its incredible flavor and texture.

Meet the team behind Baker’s Dozen 👋

Apparently we’ve been preparing for this our whole lives…

Victoria: “future baker” (also me: still burns things occasionally)
Austin: “future taste tester” (has never once said no to bread)
Bauer and Cane: “future supervisors” (currently still sitting directly in the flour zone)

We just didn’t know it yet. 🍞

Hi, I’m Victoria! The Baker behind Baker’s Dozen. 👋

Baking became something I looked forward to after long days and busy schedules.

What started as making bread for people I love slowly turned into wondering…

What if I shared it?

Now here we are.

I’m so excited to bring fresh sourdough to North Iowa.

Flavor experiments! Including cheddar Asiago, s’mores (yes, really), plain classic, and a few “we’ll see how this turns out” flavors. Every bake gets us closer to your next favorite loaf!

Research & development day!

Not every loaf is perfect! Every loaf teaches us something. We’ve spent weeks tweaking recipes, fermentation times, and baking methods to create bread we’re proud to put our name on.

The best bread starts with patience. 💛

Something exciting is rising in North Iowa… 🍞

What started as a love of baking has turned into countless hours of testing, learning, and perfecting sourdough recipes. We’re not quite ready to share everything yet, but we can’t wait to take you along for the journey.

Stay tuned. 👀
