You knocked it out of the park again! Your consistency with flavor, crust and soft pillowy interior has me wanting to eat the whole loaf! 😋 I love the sour flavor and interior texture. Overall, all your breads have been delicious and you’ve perfected your consistency :)
It was sooo good warmed up and it felt like it was fresh baked from the oven. I loved the rosemary and sea salt bits in every bite. Healthy in disguise :) The presentation was very high end. You nailed it with the visual presentation and packaging.

about the maker
Hi, I'm Nancy.
Leaven Life is baked in our family kitchen, on the same granite counter where homework gets done and game-day snacks get packed. It started with a jar of flour, water, and a lot of patience, and grew into weekend loaves for neighbors, trays of bagels and pretzels, and cinnamon rolls that never last past breakfast.
Everything is made in small batches and baked to order. Starter is split from the same jar every morning, and loaves are scored by hand, so if you see a preorder tag, that's your window.
