Why Pricing Might Feel Different (And Why It’s Worth It)
If my prices seem a little higher than what you find at the grocery store or even local bakeries, here’s why:
Every item is made from organic, top-quality ingredients—sourced not for cost, but for purity, flavor, and integrity. I use premium French-milled Label Rouge flour, organic ingredients, and absolutely no fillers, preservatives, or shortcuts.
This is a one-woman bakery, handcrafted with care in small batches. There’s no industrial kitchen, no staff, and no mass production—just me, a mixer, and a deep commitment to reviving real food made the right way.
When you buy from The Little Bread Box, you’re not just paying for ingredients. You’re supporting craftsmanship, transparency, time-honored tradition, and a belief that food should be honest, nourishing, and worth every bite.

Ingredients & Sourcing
-
While nothing is certified gluten-free, every item at The Little Bread Box—from bread and biscotti to cookies, granola, tortillas, and bagels—is made using a traditional long-fermented sourdough process. This breaks down gluten and phytic acid, making it easier to digest for many people with gluten sensitivity.
It’s important to note: if you have celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance, these products may not be safe for you.
-
I use Baja Gold, a solar-dried, mineral-rich sea salt harvested from the Sea of Cortez.
It’s superior to even unprocessed salts like Celtic and Himalayan in both mineral content and taste. Unlike those, Baja Gold retains over 90 naturally occurring trace minerals and is never washed or kiln-dried.
Compared to toxic table salt—which is highly processed, bleached, and stripped of nutrients—Baja Gold is alive, flavorful, and deeply nourishing.
-
I use flour from Foricher Les Moulins, a historic French mill known for its unmatched quality and integrity. Their stone-milled flours are milled slowly to preserve nutrients and flavor.
-
Label Rouge is France’s highest quality certification, awarded only to food products that meet strict standards of origin, sustainability, and craftsmanship. My flour has this designation—meaning it’s held to a higher standard than most U.S. organic flours.
-
French flour is more tightly regulated, with fewer additives and lower protein content—making it easier to digest. U.S. flours often contain bleaching agents and additives that don’t have to be labeled. Foricher’s flours are clean, pure, and ideal for the long-fermentation process I use.
-
Yes—and beyond. I go out of my way to source the highest-quality, ethically produced ingredients available, whether that means organic, biodynamic, small-batch, or imported from traditional sources.
Baking Methods & Kitchen Info
-
A cottage bakery operates from a home kitchen under state cottage food laws.
I sell non-potentially hazardous baked goods like bread, brownies, granola, cookies, biscotti, bagels, and tortillas legally under Ohio’s Cottage Food Laws. My kitchen is not licensed or inspected—but every item is handmade with love, care, and the highest standards of cleanliness and quality.
-
I bake in a Simply Bread deck oven—a professional, small-batch bread oven designed specifically for artisan sourdough bakers. It provides perfect heat retention, even baking, and that iconic crust that sourdough lovers crave.
-
Many mass-produced “sourdough” breads use shortcuts like commercial yeast and the Chorleywood Bread Process—a rapid, industrial method that relies on additives and high-speed mixing to simulate sourdough’s texture.
At The Little Bread Box, I use natural leavening and fermentation times of 24–48 hours. This long process allows wild yeasts and bacteria to break down gluten and anti-nutrients, resulting in a bread (and baked goods!) that are flavorful, easier to digest, and full of character.
-
Great question. My prices reflect the exceptional ingredients, artisanal process, and small-batch production behind every item.
This is not mass-market bread. I’m a one-woman micro-bakery using organic, French-milled flour, mineral-rich salt, slow fermentation, and real-time labor. Each cookie, biscotti, tortilla, or loaf is crafted with integrity and intention. It’s more than food—it’s nourishment you can trust.
-
Yes, every item is made from scratch by me—Christy—with a whole lot of love.
