Big Dipper Breads

13/10/2026

we're officially into soup and sourdough season here in Fairbanks! And this week's menu has some of my favorite savory loaves coming back.

The Classic Boule is always here, but I'm bringing back Jalapeño Cheddar, French Onion Gruyère, and Roasted Garlic Asiago this week. If you've had any of these before, you know they're pretty hard to resist warm from the oven. And if you haven't, this is a good week to try one! Ask me about a savory or sweet butter to compliment your loaf too. I might have the perfect compliment to go with your loaf!

This week's lineup:

Classic Boule: $12

Jalapeño Cheddar: $16

French Onion Gruyère: $18

Roasted Garlic Asiago: $18

I'm also trying something a little different with this week's cookie. Jumbo Lavender London Fog Sourdough Cookies - $5 each.

Think Earl Grey tea, a little floral lavender, and vanilla, all wrapped up in a big bakery-style cookie. I've been wanting to play around with these flavors for a while, and I'm excited to add them to the menu.

As always, everything is made from scratch in small batches, right here in North Pole.

Preorders close Thursday, October 15, with pickup Saturday, October 17.

Send me a message if you'd like me to save you something!

Stay warm out there, Fairbanks. The oven's getting a workout this week. ⭐

Do y'all ever just have a week? I won't go into details, but a borked phone is just the tip of the iceberg this week. There is a young pup in my life, who is fighting for his life. And I am still looking for a replacement for my KitchenAid (IYKYK). Grateful for an amazing support system (TKX2 💚🩵) Please be patient with me this week if I am slow to respond. I will get back to you.

October baking just feels different in Alaska. We’re firmly into the season where the oven being on all day is a plus, not a problem (let’s not talk about the price of electrics tho 🤪)

This week’s Big Dipper menu:

Classic Boule: $12
Pumpkin Swirl: $18
Cranberry Rosemary Parmesan: $18
Jumbo Orange Cardamom Sourdough Cookies: $5 each

I’m especially excited about the Cranberry Rosemary Parmesan this week. It’s a little sweet, a little savory, and feels like fall. My favorite holiday, Thanksgiving, is only 8 weeks away! 🤩!

And because apparently I can’t leave well enough alone, im adding jumbo Orange Cardamom Sourdough Cookies too. Bright orange, warm cardamom, big bakery-style cookies. These might be dangerous with morning coffee.

Preorders close Thursday, October 8, with pickup Saturday, October 10.

Message me to reserve yours! ⭐️

It’s Sunday, so it’s been a reset day for me. The house is clean, and two fresh sandwich loaves just came out of the oven. They will be ready to slice into in the morning! Stay tuned for my weekly menu, coming out tomorrow. There will be a few familiar flavors to chose from, and something new! Happy fall, y’all!

And that’s a wrap for my Saturday! 2 classic boules, 3 jalapeño sharp cheddar, 5 French onion gruyere, and a couple dozen gingerbread cookies. Thank you, to each and every one of you! I know you have choices.

What’s a girl to do when all the loaves and cookies are prepped to bake in the morning, and she’s not tired? Create! I now have a shelf-stable Sourdough Brownie mix to go with my Cinnamon Pancake Mix. My wheels are definitely spinning. Stay tuned for more goodies coming out of this kitchen!

My North Star-ter is strong, and the all-rye starter is coming right along. I’m super excited to figure out how this rye starter will affect my baking options!

Apparently Fairbanks got the memo that October starts this week. Snow is in the forecast, the leaves are disappearing fast, and I’m ready to bake accordingly.

This week I’m bringing back two favorites: Classic Boule ($12) and Jalapeño Sharp Cheddar ($16).

I’m also adding something new: French Onion Gruyère ($18). I’ll be slowly caramelizing the onions before folding them into the dough with Gruyère. I have a feeling this one is going to be very good with a big bowl of soup.

And because cold weather calls for cookies, there are Sourdough Gingerbread Cookies ($12/dozen) this week too. These aren’t little gingerbread people. They’re big, soft bakery-style cookies with molasses, ginger and warm spices, with raw sugar on top for a little crunch and sparkle.

Pre-orders close Thursday, October 1, with pickup Saturday, October 3.

Here comes winter, Fairbanks. Might as well have good bread. ❄️

I want to give a big shout-out to my new and regular customers. In our current economy, I know you all have lots of options, and it means so much that you chose to support my small business. Seeing you guys on baking days makes my heart happy, even when I’m wiped out! Thanks for being patient, thanks for all the feedback, and mostly, thank you for the easy conversions that make me want to stay and gab for a while. Today, I also got a gift, which was a complete surprise. Days like today remind me how even the smallest act of kindness has an impact. Thank you. I appreciate you all!
