  • Follow the complete journey of our artisan sourdough from beginning to end. Our dough takes days to go from basic ingredients like flour, water, salt, and starter to finished fresh-baked loaves. This isn't a recipe; it's a process, and we do it every week at Proof Bread.

    After 3 years of building this bakery from scratch, we're being forced to move. What should be an 18-month process is now being forced upon us in only 4 short months, during our busiest time of the year. This isn't just a matter of logistics. This move will cost us an estimated $250,000 to build out entirely new infrastructure. If you'd like to help us, please donate to our GoFundMe so we can keep Proof alive: gf.me/u/yzr87v
    You help will save our livelihood and the livelihoods of over a dozen families that rely on the company. Your help will allow this local food economy to have a small light in this catastrophic year. Our business was fortunate to remain stable in recent months, but now we face an existential crisis. Words cannot adequately describe the great level of appreciation we will all have for every small offer of help we can receive at this time. We are a community bakery, and at this moment we desperately need our community's help.

    My Father was a Baker all his life, I used to go to work with him sometimes on Sunday when I was a teenager I’d sit there mesmerized at how fast he could cut dough throw it on a scale and get the exact weight he was looking for without having to add or subtract to it, then forming the dough into a loaf shape, then moving on to making donuts was my favorite thing to watch him do because I knew I’d get to eat some, sometimes he’d let me get the drum sticks and turn the donuts in the hot oil, I was never as fast as him but I was fast enough they didn’t get too dark, I miss my father but every time I walk past a bakery I’ll step in the door and take a deep breath in and remember my Daddy!

      Your Dad was an incredibly hard working man. Those hours, that time on his feet, the real heat, the 50kg bags of flour , the vegetable oil off of the doughnut fryer, maybe finishing the daily cream confectionery, which required a slight of hand , dipping in correctly heated chocolate, so a good thickness remain on the product, so you could immediately comb a pattern into it. Then back to the ovens for the various fruited bun items, painted in a sugar solution, and high handed sprinkled further with white sugar. Everything over the shop before 8am, when they opened, girls short tempered because the one item a customer had come in for at 7:50am, wasn't there because they were waiting at the door with their daily newspaper they had just bought , and because they were local, and pleaded with the girl to open early, so they can return home with everything they needed for breakfast, the girl did .
      And all the while not thinking of the baker who was stood there from last night, whilst he slept, getting everything over the shop for 8am, and not 10 min before, because you must push everything over the road from the bakery to the shop , all weathers, including snow. That was my experience, and now many, many years later, l have the privilege of a local baker in my town , l hear him starting his car at 3:30am, to go and bake today's bread and cakes fresh. Almost 8 hrs later l visit this shop, and only spend my money in there, l have been lucky to thank him personally for all his hard work, and let mention my time in that role, he genuinely greets me with a smile, knowing we have both walked that green mile, him for a lifetime though. Respect.

      Funny how people dislike the crust so
      much. Has more texture, AND more
      flavor. When I was a kid, I always wanted
      the end cut, off of a roast Mom cooked.
      Recently figured out, it was NOT the well
      done part, but the more flavor. Crust is
      exactly the same. (Yes, NEVER had a
      sandwich with the crust cut off. Most
      likely, both heels, my favorite.)

As if bread hasn't been baked for the last - what--5000 years? 10,000 years? by humans throwing together yeast, water and flour. Now -all of a sudden in the last 30 years- baking bread is done by "artisans." So bread was crap until 30 years ago when artisans got involved?

    I've always had such admiration for craftsmen, artisans. Hand work has been so undervalued, yet I believe it is a complete holistic work. You use your hands/body in coordination with your brain, you use intuition too, you feel elements, and also you get to think about a lot of things. And you see the result of your work.
    And your work is immediately useful to your fellowmen.
    There's nothing more precious than a good craftsman.

It's amazing how something as simple as flour, water, and salt can be transformed into a delightful loaf of bread, especially when you consider the time and care that goes into the natural fermentation process. The crusty outside and soft, chewy inside of sourdough is just perfect for so many meals and occasions. Plus, the satisfaction of making bread from scratch is incomparable! 🍞✨

I get it, the dude can talk, but he's also full of BS and projecting like he is much more than he is.

      Actually, a lot of Americans in professional Enviroments are using Metric, because the Imperial System SUCKS and is incompatible with basically the rest of the world.
      And from a bakers perspective it is at well. Now Fahrenheit or Celcius doesn't matter in the end of the day, because it doesn't depend on other factors there. He uses Fahrenheit because that's what he was told from birth on. But it doesn't matter at baking. However Metric system makes especially at baking a whole lot of sense.
      Let's say you wanna make a bread with 80% hydration. 1 Litre of Water = 1Kg of weight. Fantastic. That means: I need to add 800g of Water to 1kg of Flour for a 80% Hydration dough. Nice and easy. It makes this whole process a LOT more complicated with a lot of side calculations with a lot of failure inbetween, when using something like imperial System.

      @Annihilate MAGA Cult Well the British are kinda "bilinguar". They understand and use both. Altough imperial is still decreasing, since it doesn't make any sense.
      America.... Scientiests and any who profit from it (Like most that handle Measurements and Convertions) use Metrics, while in the meantime they use imperial.
      You can pull it down quite easily. America was a powerhouse, quite self contained during all that metric thing happening. All their machines and shit were imperial, and they had no one to seriously interchange with. So imperial Measurements stood in place. And then nothing changed of course, like in the rest of the world.
      Bringing them now to change is borderline impossible. They only understand imperial.
      It would take Decades.
      They even tried it, don't know, in the 50s or 60s? Nobody adopted and nobody cared. It ain't gonna change soon.
