Our Approach
Biological Engineering
We treat bread baking as a biological process. Each batch is monitored as a living system, with careful attention to temperature, humidity, and microbial activity. Our approach combines traditional techniques with modern understanding of fermentation science.
Precision & Consistency
Every variable is measured and recorded. From hydration levels to fermentation times, we maintain detailed logs that inform our process. This systematic approach ensures consistent results while allowing for continuous refinement.
Methodology
Starter Maintenance
Our sourdough starter is maintained through a consistent feeding schedule. Regular monitoring ensures optimal microbial balance and activity levels.
Feeding: Twice daily | Age: 3 years
Fermentation Control
Ambient conditions are carefully managed to create optimal fermentation environments. Temperature and humidity are monitored throughout the process.
Temperature: 70-72°F | Humidity: 60-70%
Baking Technique
Oven spring and crust development are achieved through precise temperature control and steam management during the initial baking phase.
Initial Temp: 475°F | Steam: 20 minutes
Our Location
Grand Island, Nebraska
Located in the heart of the Midwest, our bakery operates in a climate that presents unique challenges and opportunities for bread fermentation. The regional characteristics influence our process and contribute to the distinctive qualities of our bread.
