Working at a cool little sandwich shop in Durham has its perks! We made the bread, beer cheese, sweets, and provided the bread for one of the beers here, at .farm event today!

I’ve been exploring other bakers methods (percentages, fermentation, shaping, cold proof and ambient, baking schedule, etc) and I’ve found that I really love my percentages, enjoy the technical aspects of temperature regulation, and love my shaping style!

The nearly perfect circle is my way, Knowles likes the longer shaped loaf (he told me so while he was roasting coffee).

Whenever you decide to start: Happy baking in 2026 ❤️

First batch of crackers from home (roadhouse flavor naturally)! Turned out lovely! So happy to have them again!

Thanksgiving bread (tried 4 loaves in the oven with minor success), and a chocolate pecan/pumpkin cheesecake pie! closest thing to a “pake” (pie/cake for all my non Drop Dead Diva fans) I’ve ever made!

I also hand laminated croissants! Photos to come when I’m happier with them

I’ve not been baking too much, but wanted to share. It’s a bit fun to do such a small amount! I’ve been messing with hydration and flour: this set was 40% whole wheat/rye (thanks to ) and 81% hydration. My home oven and I are getting better acquainted.

Happy nearly Thanksgiving time. Thankful for the years of experiences and missing so many faces right now ❤️

Today was another, deeper ending: we did our last wholesale deliveries! Get to our partners if you want to score the last loaf (or 2!) before they are gone. It was a beautiful bake And I am so proud of what our little team produced week in and week out!

Thanks for the memories. We’ll be seeing ya!

August 9th, 2025. The end of our rainbow. Thank you so so much for coming to see us this last time.

I’m sorry the wait was long and we ran out so fast. I really appreciate the folks who stopped by just to say “hi”.

This is our community and we will see you shopping some Saturday. I’ll remember and you’ll remember and it will be sweet. But I will greatly miss every Saturday with you!

It’s going to take us a little while to get through all these cards (it’s been sweet and lovely and sad and hard so far), but thank you so much for all the love and support! We will let you know where we land!

Thank you for joining us on this amazing journey. Thank you for shopping with us and helping me become the amazing baker I am today (self love is important!). Thank you. We love you and miss you and hope all the best for you!🦄🦄🌈

We’ve met some absolutely lovely people over these last 8 years! While we may not cross paths again, it will be impossible not to remember you.

“I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.”

See you at the this Saturday 🦄🦄

Years of practice, patience, resilience, and magical thinking (in a not destructive way) led to some pretty amazing things here at Sour Bakery!

It might rain on Saturday, but you should come to the anyway! It’s the very last time you’ll see this unicorn bagging up some of the most lovely sourdough you’ve ever tried and some of the most unique flavors you’ve never thought of.

Thank you for 8 great years friends! Let’s get together one last Saturday 🦄🔥
