Let’s break make bread together.

Though I was always a big fan of cooking and baking, I was intimidated by any recipe calling for yeast. Without any experience knowing what the process is supposed to look like, and with the added factors of our high elevation, it took me many trials to figure it out.

Now, more than 5 years later, I’ve cracked the code on high-altitude yeast breads and stopped buying preservative-laden bread from the grocery store. While our elevation has distinct effects on yeasted recipes, a few simple tricks and adjustments will have you turning out beautiful, delicious, wholesome loaves with ease.

Nothing has brought more joy to my kitchen journey than cutting into a fresh loaf of bread that I’ve made with my own hands. Through bread baking, I’ve learned to be more intentional and aware in the kitchen, to slow down and adapt, to savor and appreciate simplicity. And I want to share all of that with you!
