Origin Breads is a small bakery in Madison, WI that is dedicated to baking small batches of handcrafted and long-fermented sourdough breads, pastries and pizza using organic grains grown and stone milled in the nearby Driftless Area. For us, making bread and pastries is art. Flour, water and salt are our media. Fermented dough is our canvas. But to find the real beauty in our loaves you must tear through the rustic shell to see, smell and taste what lies within. With every loaf, we try to honor the hard work of our farmers and millers by using time honored baking techniques that coax maximum flavor and nutrition out of the organic grains. We also make damn good granola using local and organic maple syrup and oats.
