Rustic Loaf is an organic sourdough bakery devoted to slow fermentation and ingredient integrity. We craft each loaf using wild yeast, freshly milled heritage grains, filtered water, and mineral-rich salt — nothing refined, nothing artificial.
Every bread ferments naturally for over 36 hours, developing deep flavor, beautiful texture, and gentle digestibility.
We bake in small batches and shape each loaf by hand, prioritizing quality over speed.
No commercial yeast. No preservatives. No shortcuts.
Just time, craftsmanship, and real bread.
Find us at select Southern California farmers’ markets and through limited pre-order releases.

On April 15, 2020, my sourdough starter was born. During my extensive research, I was surprised to learn that people name their sourdough starters. I named mine Dove, in memory of my grandma.

Flour forms the structural foundation of the bread, supplying essential nutrients while defining its texture and crumb. Water activates natural enzymes and fermentation, enabling proper gluten development and improving elasticity and digestibility. Himalayan salt regulates fermentation, strengthens the gluten network, and enhances overall flavor balance through its mineral composition
