What type of ingredients do you use?

I use only high-quality, organic, and kosher ingredients, all prepared in a kosher home kitchen. The organic flours I bake with are sourced from The Central Milling Company, known for their exceptional stone-milled grains. 

What is Levain?

Levain is a natural pre-ferment made from flour and water—a portion of sourdough starter used to give bread its rise and depth of flavor. Sourdough breads made with levain are not only rich in taste but also easier to digest, have a lower glycemic index, and support better nutrient absorption—making them a healthier alternative to conventional breads.

What is the best way to store my bread to keep it fresh?

For sourdough, store it at room temperature in a paper bag—never plastic—to help maintain the crust. It’ll stay fresh for about a week. If you’re not planning to eat it right away, I recommend freezing it in a Ziploc bag. When you’re ready to enjoy it, just let it sit out for about 15 minutes—it’ll taste fresh-baked again!

Challah, brioche, and Japanese milk bread are best kept in a plastic bag at room temperature to preserve their soft texture.

What is the ordering process?

Allergens and food intolerance

Please note that many of my products contain nuts, eggs, and wheat, and while I take care in my kitchen, cross-contamination may occur. For that reason, I do not recommend my baked goods for individuals with allergies to nuts, eggs, or wheat.
