Welcome to Pennyloaf! A tiny, one-woman cottage bakery producing handmade sourdough bread on Bainbridge Island, WA.

Every loaf is naturally leavened and made with 100% local, fresh, stoneground flour and house-milled grains. I mix and shape by hand, ferment slowly, and bake boldly to bring out the deepest flavors of the grain.

Orders for weekly bread are taken on Tuesdays, and baked on Thursdays. See FAQs for more ordering info.

Bread orders are open, bread folks, and I can’t wait to bake for you again this week. I am not, by any means, a fair weather baker, but having a couple gorgeous bakes in a row does give for extra motivation and excitement. See you this week for
Bread orders are up on the website! The bread last week was SO good, and I took zero photos of the actual loaves. Follow me for more Instagram marketing tips lol. 🙃 I think I was too blissed out on eating it and handing out slices of fairy bread at
