Fresh drops. Same obsession.
Why sourdough?
Time is an ingredient.
We don't rush fermentation. We don't mass produce. And we don't bake a week's worth of bread on Monday. BKR is made in small batches, by hand, with sourdough at the heart of everything we do.
Behind BKR
Hi, I'm Chiara.
I started BKR with one jar of starter on a kitchen counter in Burlington and a stubborn refusal to bake anything I wouldn't want to eat myself or feed to my children. Everything still gets shaped by hand, in batches small enough that I know what came out of the oven that morning. When it's gone, it's gone.
Good things take time.
Start
A living starter, fed twice a day, every day.
Ferment
18 to 24 hours cold. This is where flavour happens.
Shape
By hand. Every loaf, every bomb, one at a time.
Bake
Steam, then heat, until the crust cracks.
Devour
Best the day it's baked. That's not marketing.
