Sourdough Bread
This is bread stripped to its essentials: flour, water, salt, and patience. We fold it by hand, ferment slowly, and bake hot. The result? A loaf with depth of flavor that only time can create—tangy, tender, and true. This is sourdough in its purest form. Delivered unsliced to preserve the perfect crust. Looking to explore flavors? Choose from our rotating lineup of inclusions: Farmhouse Seed — a rustic blend of poppy seeds, sesame seeds, fennel, and sea salt Green Goddess — A bright, herb‑forward sourdough infused with our Green Goddess seasoning blend — featuring onion, garlic, chives, green onion, spinach, lemon, and parsley. It bakes into a fragrant, savory loaf with a fresh, zesty finish and a beautiful green‑flecked crumb. Sesame Seed — A toasty, nutty sourdough with a golden sesame‑crusted exterior and a soft, flavorful crumb. Simple, fragrant, and perfect for everyday eating. Hot Jalapeño — bold, spicy heat with aromatic pepper flavor (too hot? Pair it with cream cheese at home to mellow the kick) Jalapeño Cheddar — A savory bread with a gentle kick — made with real cheddar and diced jalapeños for a warm, flavorful bite. Perfect toasted or paired with soup for a little spice and comfort. Sea Salt Rosemary — fragrant, earthy rosemary with a bright sprinkle of sea salt Cranberry Walnut — tart cranberries and toasted walnuts for a hearty, slightly sweet loaf Green Olive — briny, buttery green olives folded throughout for a savory bite (includes pimento) Kalamata Olive — rich, deep purple olives that add a bold Mediterranean flavor Everything Bagel Seasoning — sesame, poppy, garlic, onion, and sea salt for a familiar, crave‑worthy crunch Cinnamon Sugar — warm cinnamon and sweet sugar swirled into a comforting treat Cinnamon Raisin — plump raisins and cinnamon for a classic breakfast loaf Iced Cinnamon Raisin — our cinnamon raisin loaf finished with a drizzle of vanilla icing for extra indulgence Italian Herb — A fragrant, savory loaf infused with a light blend of Italian herbs for a clean, aromatic flavor. The crumb stays soft and tender, while the crust bakes golden and crisp. Perfect for pasta night, dipping in olive oil, or building the best sandwich of your week. Balanced, simple, and deeply comforting — a classic Side Yard Bakery flavor. Italian Herb & Cheese — A rich, savory loaf featuring your signature Italian herb blend paired with sharp cheddar folded gently into the dough. The cheese melts into pockets of flavor while keeping the crumb soft and the crust beautifully blistered. Warm, aromatic, and satisfyingly cheesy — a customer favorite for grilled sandwiches, garlic bread, or enjoying toasted with cream cheese. Roasted Garlic & Chive — Slow‑roasted garlic and fresh chives folded gently into the dough. The garlic brings a sweet, buttery depth while the chives add a bright, garden‑fresh lift. Soft crumb, golden crust, and incredible aroma — this loaf feels like elevated garlic bread in sourdough form. Roasted Garlic Cheddar — Bold, savory, and deeply satisfying. Roasted garlic melts into the dough for a sweet, caramelized flavor while sharp cheddar creates pockets of warm, gooey richness throughout the loaf. The crust bakes blistered and golden, the crumb stays soft and cheesy. This is the ultimate comfort‑food sourdough — perfect for grilled cheese, burgers, or garlic toast. Roasted Garlic Everything — All the classic everything‑bagel flavors — sesame, poppy, garlic, onion, and sea salt — elevated with sweet roasted garlic folded into the dough. The result is a savory, aromatic loaf with a soft crumb and a perfectly seasoned crust. Choose Baker's Choice if you love a little mystery.
