Artisan bread baking process

About Our Process

Where tradition meets scientific methodology

Our Approach

Biological engineering process

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 measurement

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

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

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

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.

Address: 2405 S North Rd, Grand Island, NE 68803

Facility

Our production space is designed to maintain consistent environmental conditions. Temperature and humidity control systems ensure optimal fermentation regardless of external weather conditions.

Climate Controlled | Monitored 24/7
