WHY SOURDOUGH?
Sourdough bread is a testament to natural fermentation and artisanal expertise. Made with wild yeast and bacteria, it boasts a unique flavor profile—tangy with a crisp crust and airy crumb.
Beyond its taste, sourdough offers health benefits. Its extended fermentation breaks down gluten and phytic acid, aiding digestion and enhancing nutrient absorption, making it ideal for those with gluten sensitivity or digestive issues. Sourdough also has a lower glycemic index than breads leavened with commercial yeast, promoting stable blood sugar levels.
Moreover, sourdough retains more vitamins and minerals through natural fermentation, making it a nutritious choice with a longer shelf life, reducing food waste.
At Simply Sourdough By KK, we cherish sourdough's tradition and benefits, crafting each loaf meticulously with premium ingredients. Join me in savoring its robust flavors and wholesome goodness.
Running this sourdough micro bakery wouldn’t be possible without the unwavering support of a few special people in my life.
First and foremost, my incredible boyfriend Nate. He’s not just my biggest cheerleader, he’s my partner in every sense. From early morning dough prep to late-night baking sessions, Nate is there every step of the way, helping me with anything and everything. Whether it’s washing the mountain of dishes, handling weekly bread drops, or just keeping me company when I’m working late (even if it means he's asleep on the couch), or staying awake to hear the timer go off, letting me catch a quick nap when I need it most. I truly couldn’t do this without him!
​
A huge shout-out grandma as well. Before I moved, my grandma and I lived next door, and she was my lifesaver—always offering me her oven to bake in and generously sharing ingredients when I was in a pinch. She’s also the one who helps me store my baking items.
​
My mom, on the other hand, has been my rock since the beginning. Whether it's running multiple ovens to meet demand, decorating for pop-up events, organizing products, or simply offering a listening ear, she’s been there every step of the way. I am so grateful for her endless support!
​
Thank you to these amazing people for being my backbone through this journey!
