Did you know it takes 32 hours to make a loaf of sourdough?! That doesn’t include the time it took to make and maintain your starter either. From the moment you begin following a recipe, until you are able to cut it or bag it, it’s 32 hours. So while the supplies may not be expensive, the TIME is.

In some places 32 hours is a work week. In California where the minimum wage is $16/hr that’s $512 of labor BEFORE supplies. So when someone makes you a loaf please understand the TIME and ATTENTION that went into it 💕

Just something I realized when putting together a price/cost estimate for my loaves. I couldn’t believe how much TIME goes into them. I would have to sell 43 large loaves of bread to pay myself $512, and that wouldn’t cover the supplies.

So when I take your order, or hand you a loaf of bread, just know that lots of love went into it and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it for you and your family!
