Oak & Oven Kitchen

I finallllly baked some bread 😆 thanks for the starter Mom Carrie Oehrlein

Remember how I said I was reviving my starter?

Well… I accidentally baked them.
I started the wrong oven for dinner last night & baked my starters.
What.A.Dumbass.
Anywho- I have a backup but my Mom is gonna share her starter with me tonight 🤪🤪🤪

Reviving the starters! Tucked away in the back of the fridge for awhile…. I’ve been busy 🤣
They’ve been fed regularly for a few days… Should be able to bake with them tomorrow! 🤞🏻

Of course we package your cookies all cute, it’s like a little gift to yourself for making it through the week! Thank you for your support 💓

Cookies are on our mind!! Pre-order your Salted Caramel Oatmeal Chocolate Chip for this coming Friday 4/24/26 ! Layla will be baking Thursday evening. Prices are going up on everything …including our cookies- they’ll be $14/dozen and they’re worth every penny 😍 comment or DM to order.

We got some updated business cards finally!
What do you think?

Was reminded today why I usually don’t eat store bought bakery items-my tummy hurts!! 🤢

✨ WHAT’S REALLY IN YOUR BREAD? ✨
Clean vs. Processed Ingredient List 👇

🥖 THE “TYPICAL STORE-BUN” LIST
(enriched flour, water, yeast… then the extras)

→ mono & diglycerides
→ sodium stearoyl lactylate
→ calcium propionate (mold inhibitor)
→ ammonium sulfate
→ monocalcium phosphate
→ enzymes
→ soybean oil
→ defatted soy flour
→ potassium bromate ⚠️

💭 Translation:
Made for shelf life, speed, and softness—not simplicity.

—

🌾 THE CLEAN VERSION (WHAT IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE)

→ flour
→ water
→ yeast
→ salt
→ optional: olive oil, honey, eggs

💭 Translation:
Real ingredients. Recognizable. Nourishing.

🤍 WHY IT MATTERS

Your body doesn’t need:
❌ preservatives to stop mold
❌ chemical dough conditioners
❌ additives banned in other countries

It does thrive on:
✔ simple ingredients
✔ slow fermentation
✔ real food made with intention

🌿 At the end of the day…
If you can’t pronounce it, your body probably doesn’t know what to do with it either.
