Pane & Anima (Bread and Soul)

Welcome to My Blog!

Baking is a cherished tradition in my family! I vividly recall visiting my great-grandma's farmhouse, where the counters were always brimming with freshly baked treats. She'd send us home with a Folgers can packed with those freshly baked goodies. Baking has always been a passion of mine, and growing up in the Midwest only fueled that love!

My Story

When my kids were first born, I chose to be a stay-at-home mom to raise my kids, dedicating my time to baking and sharing treats with the neighbors. Now that my girls are older and in high school and I now have a nursing degree, I would love to have the opportunity to transform my passion into a thriving business to share with others.

Sourdough Journey

I embarked on my sourdough journey to enjoy the health benefits and savor fresh bread every day! I kicked off my sourdough starter in October 2023, and after many attempts with dense loaves and some frustrations, I've finally mastered the art of baking perfect loaves. I've had a blast experimenting with mix-ins and am constantly trying out new and exciting ideas!

Starting a Micro bakery

I'm thrilled to share that I've embarked on an exciting journey by starting a microbakery right in my home in Mesa, AZ! I offer convenient porch pickups for my neighbors and have even started participating in a few vendor events. It's an ongoing learning adventure, but I'm embracing every moment and growing each day!

I'm absolutely ecstatic to share my baking passion with everyone and inspire others to bake with all the love they can pour in!
