Hey everyone! Let me tell you how Manna House started:
Cookies & Rustic Bread: Back in college, I got into baking cookies and making rustic bread. Cookies were a weekend treat, while bread was perfect for our evening small group gatherings.
Sourdough: Fast forward to 2023, when bread prices shot up, I began making sourdough and tinkering with other bread recipes at home.
Unleavened Bread: I developed a habit of baking homemade bread for communion at home, opting for something more substantial than the typical cracker and juice cups we see at church. After experimenting with various recipes, baking times, and dough thicknesses, I found the perfect recipe. This endeavor was inspired by a desire to revive the tradition of homemade unleavened bread, reminiscent of pre-COVID times.
Pie: Last summer, my neighbor shared some delicious apples from her family's orchard in Hood River. Those apples were fantastic! While I had made pies before, this time I aimed for both great taste and presentation. The result was amazing, although I got so carried away with eating it that I forgot to snap a picture!
My goals: With Manna House, my aim is to craft exceptional doughs using top-notch ingredients. The primary objective is to facilitate communion by providing fresh bread locally. I want to enhance your everyday moments, and what better way to do so than through enjoying delicious food!
