Thank you to everyone who has already ordered Bittman’s bread. We’ve been genuinely overwhelmed by the enthusiasm—and by the thoughtful feedback coming in. Please keep sharing your experiences; we’re taking careful notes as we plan the next round.
And if you haven’t ordered yet, don’t worry—we still have a few loaves left. Orders placed by Sunday, 12/21 will arrive in time for New Year’s Day. Or, if you’re still looking for a last-minute gift, a Bittman’s gift card is an easy way to spread a little warmth this holiday season.
Thanks again for being with us on this journey,
Kate + Mark
1. Half Wheat Sourdough

The Bread: The gateway loaf. Made with 50% whole wheat flour and 50% white flour, plus water, starter, and salt. The whole wheat adds substance without compromising the light, elastic texture that makes sourdough so appealing.
The Word: “This is the loaf I keep reaching for.” – Zoe
The Way: French Toast. For two slices: whisk 1 egg with a splash of milk and a pinch of salt. (Optional but excellent: 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 teaspoon sugar.) Dip, soak, then pan-fry in butter until golden on both sides. Serve however you like.
2. Corn Sourdough

The Bread: The sleeper hit—and Kate’s favorite. A true sourdough made with 30% whole-grain corn, plus 50% whole wheat flour and 20% white flour. Subtly sweet, deeply savory, with a crust dusted in crunchy cornmeal.
The Word: “Unexpected, in the best way.” – Kate
The Way: Keep it simple: toast it. Add butter generously. Let the bread do the talking.
3. Rye Sourdough

The Bread: The loaf Mark is most proud of. Made with 50% rye flour, 30% whole wheat flour, and 20% white flour, it bakes into dense, hearty, and deeply flavorful goodness—especially great for sandwiches.
The Word: “Great taste. Crunchy crust. Soft inside.” – David
The Way: Smoked Salmon Toast. Toast and slice. Spread with cream cheese, then add smoked salmon, lemon, capers, and dill.
4. Whole Wheat Focaccia

The Bread: A revelation: 100% whole wheat focaccia that’s rich, savory, and beautifully textured. Familiar dimples on top, an open and springy crumb inside, and a wheaty flavor that never turns bitter.
The Word: “Didn’t think whole wheat focaccia could be this good.” – Sadie
The Way: Eggplant BLT. Thinly slice eggplant, brush with oil, dust lightly with smoked paprika, and roast until crisp. Layer on sliced focaccia with tomato, arugula, and mayo.
