The Cave Baker

Bread made slow.
Tools made honest.

German wood pulp brotforms for sourdough that rises on its own time — on floured tables, under linen, in quiet kitchens.

They breathe with the dough.
They hold it gentle.
They help shape a loaf meant to be broken and shared.

Rooted in old ways.
Easy on the earth.
Made for folks just starting sourdough, or bakers tucking beans, grains, and stories into their bread.

A good gift.
A better tool.

Limited stock. Message me to claim.

Classic Sourdough loaf.

Unlike commercial or conventional bread, sourdough starts with wild yeast aka a sourdough starter aka a leaven aka levain. It’s simple right?!? I choose to purchase organic (and generally untreated flour). I believe our health depends on it. Using bleached or glyphosate heavy flour can also affect your outcome (and health!).

The first thing to learn is how to purchase (from a local sourdougher like myself) or create a mature and active starter.
