The founder promise

What to expect from day one.

A short ingredient list

Organic flour, water, salt, and starter. Nothing hidden, nothing unnecessary.

Honest, limited drops

We will share the quantity and pickup window clearly—when a bake sells out, it is truly gone.

Behind every loaf

The slow road tastes better.

From Newman’s first bubbles to the crackle of a cooling crust, each loaf moves at the pace fermentation demands.

  1. 01

    Newman gets to work

    Our starter brings natural lift and deep flavor to a dough built from four simple ingredients.

  2. 02

    Time builds the loaf

    Mixing, folds, fermentation, shaping, and a patient rest develop a chewy crumb and characterful crust.

  3. 03

    Long Beach gets the payoff

    Small batches are scored, baked, packed, and offered for a specific local pickup window.
