From A Small Home Hobby To A Topeka Storefront Bakery | H&A Sourdough Bakery

We sit down with Nate and Kayla from H&A Sourdough Bakery and get a real look at the work behind naturally fermented bread, from keeping a starter alive to baking hundreds of loaves for big weekends. They share how a COVID-era health focus turned into a farmers market sellout streak and a brand-new storefront in Topeka.

• how H&A Sourdough gets its name and how the business starts
• what makes sourdough different from store-bought bread
• the farmers market prep schedule and what “the grind” looks like
• feeding starter, fermentation, and learning to read the dough
• scaling production at home with ovens, workspace, and a slicer
• core sourdough flavors, sourdough discard muffins, oil dips, and pricing
• storing bread, freezing slices, and making it last
• storefront launch details, hours, and how ordering works
• local partnerships, events, and why they stay out of gluten-free
