Bread Baked
with Love &
Time

Every loaf starts three days before it reaches your hands. Made with wild yeast, heritage flour, and the kind of patience that simply can't be rushed.

Our Story

From a Farmhouse Kitchen to Your Table

Hearthstone Bakery was born from a simple obsession — the search for bread that actually tastes like bread. Real crust. Real crumb. Real flavor that comes from time and care, not shortcuts.

Everything is baked in small batches from our home bakery, using only a handful of ingredients you can actually pronounce. We've been feeding our neighbors since 2019 and couldn't be more grateful.

🌾

Heritage Flours

We source from small Midwestern mills that grow and stone-grind their own grain.

🕐

72-Hour Fermentation

Our starter and cold-proof process develops flavor and digestibility you can feel.

🔥

Dutch Oven Baked

Steam-baked in a cast iron Dutch oven for the crispiest crust outside a bakery.

📦

Local Pickup & Delivery

Fresh to your door every Thursday and Saturday morning in the local area.

The Process

Real Bread Takes Real Time

We don't add anything to make our bread rise faster or stay fresher longer. We just wait — and the wild yeast, the flour, and the time do everything.

🌿
Day 1
Feed the starter. Build the levain. Mix the autolyse. Let it begin.
🤲
Day 2
Stretch, fold, and shape by hand. Build structure and strength slowly.
❄️
Overnight
Cold proof in the refrigerator for 12–18 hours. Flavor deepens.
🔥
Day 3
Score. Bake at 500°F in a Dutch oven. Steam then crust. Done.
