Our Story

Crafted with Care, Baked with Love

At Happy Sourdough, we believe that great bread starts with time, patience, and the finest ingredients. Our journey began with a simple sourdough starter and a passion for bringing authentic artisan bread to our community.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT

Our Philosophy

Three core principles guide everything we bake

Slow Fermentation

We never rush the process. Our sourdough undergoes a minimum 48-hour fermentation, allowing natural wild yeast to work its magic. This creates complex flavors, better digestibility, and bread that tastes like it should.

Organic Ingredients

Every loaf starts with certified organic flour, filtered water, and sea salt. No additives, no preservatives, no shortcuts. Just pure, wholesome ingredients that you can pronounce and your body can recognize.

Local Sourcing

We partner with regional mills and local farmers to source heritage grains and seasonal ingredients. Supporting our community means fresher products for you and a sustainable future for everyone.

Meet the Baker

Happy Sourdough was founded by a passionate baker who discovered the art of sourdough through years of dedication and countless loaves. What started as a weekend hobby in a home kitchen has grown into a beloved local bakery.

Our head baker believes that bread is more than just food—it's a connection to tradition, a labor of love, and a daily ritual that brings people together. Every morning before dawn, our team arrives to shape dough that's been fermenting overnight, ensuring that each loaf receives the attention it deserves.

We're proud to serve our community with bread that nourishes both body and soul.

Our Baking Process

From starter to table, every step matters

1

48-Hour Fermentation

Our dough begins its journey with a multi-day cold fermentation process. Natural wild yeast and beneficial bacteria slowly break down the flour, developing deep flavors and making the bread easier to digest.

2

Hand-Shaping

Each loaf is carefully shaped by hand, never by machine. This traditional technique creates the perfect structure and texture, ensuring that beautiful open crumb and crispy crust you love.

3

Stone Deck Ovens

We bake in professional stone deck ovens with steam injection, mimicking traditional European hearth baking. The intense heat creates that signature golden crust while keeping the interior moist and tender.

Our Local Commitment

Building a better community, one loaf at a time

Supporting Local Farms

We source our flour from regional mills that work directly with local grain farmers. This ensures peak freshness and supports agricultural families in our area. When you buy our bread, you're supporting an entire network of local producers.

Sustainable Practices

From composting our organic waste to using renewable energy in our kitchen, we're committed to minimizing our environmental impact. Our packaging is recyclable or compostable, and we encourage customers to bring reusable bags.

Community Partnerships

At the end of each day, we donate unsold bread to local food banks and shelters. We also partner with schools and community organizations to teach breadmaking workshops, sharing the joy of baking with the next generation.
