Sourdough

Friday and Saturday only.

Drawn from the real order. This is why bread is a Friday and a Saturday, why the almond croissants have usually gone by ten, and why a catering order for more than forty needs four days rather than two.

04 · Our story

Hi, I’m Marisa.

I started Fern & Flour with a simple belief: good things take the time they take. Same flour, same water, a little patience. You learn to feel the difference.

Feel the difference

Same flour, same water.
Twenty minutes apart.

Smooth, and alive

Domed, silky, holding its own shape.

Try the fingertip test

“The dough is ready when it feels ready.”
