#Micro Bakery Kitchen

I had a little vision for what I wanted for my bakery and it had surpassed my wildest dreams 🤗 This is where all the magic happens 🪄🍞🍪🫶🏻 #microbakery #sourdoughmicobakery #dreamsdocometrue #dontgiveup #visionintoreality #ruthiethestart #pioneerpeakssourdoughco #hereforthebread #sourdoughbaking

It’s true. With just under $500, I started my in-home bakery in January. For the most part, I used what I already had. So the money went into my business license, beginning ingredients, and packaging. Within my first two weeks of opening, God provided my 10qt Hobart C-100 mixer that was given to me. I was gifted a couple of extra dutch ovens before I ever thought I’d have a bread oven. After that, my beautiful shelf was given to me by my mother in law. There were little things sprinkled throughout my journey week by week after starting that brought me to where I am today. As my business continued to succeed and grow, then I was able to save to invest in other things to make things easier on myself and allow the growth to continue. Big things can happen from small things. You don’t need a bread oven…or a huge mixer…or any of those things to do things well. Do those things make it easier in their own ways? Absolutely. But as I will always say, do what you can with what you’ve been given in this season that you’re in. ♥️ 🌞Links to my Beginner Sourdough Guide, Instagram Growth Guide, Amazon Storefront, and Headbands can be found through the link in my bio.

The first year everything sells out because it’s new. The next years teach you how to make it sustainable. That’s when the real business begins. Most people don’t talk about that part.🤍 #Microbakery #CottageBakery #SmallBusinessTruths #BakersOfInstagram #WildfloraCottage

If I could restart my microbakery from day one… here’s everything I’d buy again (and the stuff I’d skip). When I launched, I grabbed so many things I thought I needed 🫠 and honestly, your kitchen doesn’t need to look like a commercial bakery to run like one. What I wouldn’t buy again: → professionally printed labels + branded boxes (your bakery will evolve faster than you think) → those cheap wire cookie racks → customer order bags (your customers will bring their own if you say so in your pickup announcement) Everything else is still in my rotation: - airtight storage, - proofing containers, - storage shelves, - packaging, - dough tools, - cleaning supplies (restaurant grade) All the unsexy stuff that keeps LDB running without frying my nervous system. If you want the exact list of tools I use in my home bakery, comment “STARTER” and I’ll send you the Amazon storefront link. ✨ SEO: microbakery tools, home bakery setup, micro bakery equipment, cottage food business tips, baking business essentials, home baker workflow, small batch baking tools, bakery setup checklist #microbakery

When I started my micro bakery, I didn’t know if it would work. I just knew I loved baking, and I wanted to create something meaningful that fit into my life. I don’t have a big shop or fancy equipment. My bakery runs right out of my home kitchen. I spend my week prepping, mixing, baking, and packaging—I get to share the fruits of my labor with a little stand outside my house.

Previously I mentioned the importance of having a system. This might not be everyone’s ideal “system” but most micro bakers would agree they have a system of how they achieve large bake efficiently. I go into more detail in my highlight “Bulk Baking” on my page, but here is an overview of my system: If you are interested in any of these items for bulk baking I have them all linked in my bio in my Amazon storefront. I like to keep my content free so I appreciate your support as there is a small commission I receive if you do shop my storefront. ❤️😊 I make 84 loaves using the following items in the video: -3 big white bins (20 loaves per big bin, I personally don’t do any more than that. You can, but I am comfortable with 20) -2 large metal bowls, I can fit 10 loaves in each bowl) -2 of the 6qt cambro clear container & the big 12qt clear cambro container. I also know that each of my 6qt cambro containers comfortably fits 1700g active starter. I need 1500g per 20 loaves per my loaf recipe. So I’ll mix 200g starter with 750g water & 750g flour. Which makes it almost 1:4:4 feeding ratio. Once I dump my dough and weigh out my loaves I usually have enough dough left over to have an extra loaf as my loaf recipe isn’t an exact 900g, it’s a little over. So when making bulk I know I’ll have an extra from my white bins without having to account for it. Did you find this helpful? Let me know in the comments if you like this kind of content! To my fellow bakers, what does your system look like for your big bakes? #bulkbaking #microbakerykitchen #inhomemicrobakery #cottagebakery #ladysourdough #sourdough #sourdoughstarter

I used to dream about having my own bakery… and now it’s my reality 🥖✨ What started in my home kitchen with one mixer and a big dream has turned into fresh sourdough loaves, sweet desserts, and a garage bakery full of love, faith, and hard work. Every bake is a reminder that God turns dreams into reality — one bake at a time 🤍 If you’re dreaming of something big, don’t give up. Start small. Stay consistent. Believe. Thank you for supporting my little bakery journey 🫶 #bakerydream #homebakery #sourdoughbaker #fromdreamtoreality #smallbusinessowner
