Meet The OG — the loaf that started it all.

This original sourdough is the foundation of Bread and Banter: simple, honest, and packed with that signature tangy flavor and perfect chew. It’s the kind of bread that doesn’t need anything fancy—just good butter, maybe a little salt, and you’re golden.

Crusty, classic, and made the slow way with wild fermentation and a whole lot of care. The OG is proof (pun intended) that sometimes the original really is the best.

Haven’t had a slice yet? You’re missing out.

Introducing Tuscan Affair — where rustic sourdough meets a sun-kissed Italian summer.

This savory beauty is packed with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and pockets of melty mozzarella, folded right into our classic artisan loaf. It’s bold, warm, and just the right amount of dramatic (just like me, honestly).

Perfect for charcuterie boards, grilled cheese, or just tearing into straight from the cutting board—no judgment here.

Available this week from Bread & Banter, where carbs and chaos coexist beautifully.

Say hello to Choc It to Me! This isn’t your average loaf…It’s sourdough with a sweet side—think rich cocoa, a kiss of brown sugar, and a whole lotta chocolate chips (both semi-sweet and milk, because we don’t play favorites).

It’s part bread, part brownie, all kinds of YES.
Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or whenever you need a little joy disguised as a slice.

One bite and you’ll be like… choc it to me, baby.

Bagels, but make them sourdough…Tried a little bagel experiment with my starter the other day and—chef’s kiss—they turned out ridiculously soft and stupid delicious.

Now I’m stuck with the real dilemma: how do I pick just a few flavors for the Bread and Banter menu?
Help a girl out—what’s your ultimate bagel flavor? Sweet? Savory? Everything but the bagel?

Drop your faves in the comments so I can pretend this is market research and not just me being indecisive.

Meet the true star behind Bread & Banter: Dorinda.
(Dough-rinda… get it?!)

Yesterday, she outgrew her humble little jar, so we upgraded her to a spacious new home—and let me tell you, she is thriving.

She’s bubbly, happy, and getting ready to help whip up some seriously delicious treats soon.

Stay tuned… things are about to get toasty.
