We specialize in sourdough breads and other baked goods. Every order is custom made. See FAQs under “About” for more information. FAQS

Who are you?

I bake by appointment only and generally your order will be ready in the afternoons M-F. My name is Karen. I've been baking sourdough for over 14 years with the same starter I got directly from San Francisco in 2008. I am a stay at home mom and bake out of my home as a hobby. I started selling bread in 2018 to friends and neighbors once others tasted my handmade bread. Because I make each loaf ind

ividually, every loaf is made to order and can be somewhat customized to your desires. Do you have loaves ready to pick up every day? I do everything by custom order, so, no, I do not have loaves ready to pick up. I make a limited number of loaves per week, so I will need to schedule your loaf. Please allow a minimum of 3 days notice for orders. I may be able to get it done sooner, but I cannot guarantee it especially if I am booked with other orders. When you want to order, we will work together to figure out the best day for your schedule and mine. Where are you located? I am in the town of Sullivan, WI. When you place an order, I will give you the address for pick-up. When and where is pick up? Pick up is in the town of Sullivan, usually at or after 4pm M-F. Occasionally I can arrange a Saturday pick up if my family's schedule allows. I do not bake or do pick ups on Sundays because that is our family’s day of worship and rest. How can I place an order? Simply send me a message or email me at [email protected] to order. Do you deliver or do meet-ups? I am not able to deliver or do meet-ups. How can I order cinnamon rolls? At the current time, I am unable to make my coveted cinnamon rolls! I'm sorry for the inconvenience for those of you that have bought and love my rolls. Why is your name Third Day Bakery? I named our bakery Third Day Bakery for a few reasons. First and foremost is because we believe in Jesus Christ who died for our sins and was raised from the dead on the 3rd Day! Secondly, God created plants on the 3rd day of creation, including wheat and other grains. Thirdly, it takes about 3 days to culture, form, and bake a sourdough loaf, so your loaf is ready on the 3rd day. Lastly, we're an adoptive family, and our daughter was born on the 3rd day after we were chosen by her gift family to adopt her. We love talking adoption and telling our story of God's goodness to us through both natural birth and adoption. Do you make gluten free baked goods? I currently do not sell any gluten free options. However, the long fermentation process of sourdough aids in digestion and tolerance of gluten. There are some studies showing that people who are mildly or moderately gluten intolerant can in fact tolerate sourdough baked goods. In light of this, I do have customers who can’t eat commercial or traditional yeast breads who love my bread. However, please do your own research and check with your healthcare professionals if you have known gluten intolerances or allergies before consuming wheat products.

Sourdough definitely holds benefits for gut microbiomes and those with some gluten sensitivities. I even had one customer tell me recently that she can tolerate my sourdough bread better than others she's tried in the area.
I'm here for the sourdough journey with you! Let me know if I can bake for you.

Stories from gluten-free bakers who eat sourdough have led us to wonder: Is sourdough bread “healthier” than other types of bread?

Fascinating info on freezing and thawing sourdough bread. If you want more digestible bread that’s easier on your gut, try freezing it, thawing and then toasting it.

Check the comments for the original study.

Does freezing sourdough bread make it healthier? Yes, yes it does.

I was skeptical too, but the science is fascinating! When you freeze bread, the starches undergo "retrogradation" - they reorganize into resistant starch, which is much slower for your body to digest.

Here's what this means for you: Lower blood sugar spikes, staying full longer, and feeding your beneficial gut bacteria. Research shows that frozen then toasted bread causes 39% less of a blood sugar spike compared to fresh bread. Instead of getting that quick sugar rush and crash, the energy releases more slowly. Plus, resistant starch travels to your colon where it feeds beneficial microbes and acts more like fiber.

The magic combo? Freeze + thaw + toast for maximum benefits! Each step helps, but doing all three gives you the biggest difference.

Sourdough is even better for this because it already has more resistant starch than regular bread. The natural acids in sourdough slow carb absorption, fermentation makes it easier to digest, and more nutrients are available due to lower phytic acid levels. So you're basically stacking health benefits.

Important caveat: This works best with homemade or bakery bread. Store-bought commercial bread with all those additives doesn't get the same benefits because the preservatives seem to block the starch transformation that creates resistant starch.

How to do it: Slice before freezing, wait at least 3 days for the resistant starch to really form, then thaw and toast. Your blood sugar and gut bacteria will thank you!
