Wild Yeast Kitchen

Wild Yeast Kitchen is a Cottage Food home bakery in Prattville, AL. We offer a broad variety of artisan European style loaves, pastry, and New York style bagels. Everything is hand shaped and baked with great care, using the best available ingredients. Flour A good loaf of bread begins with good flour. You will never find any harmful chemicals in our bread. We use only the best unbleached unbromated flour. A good portion of the flour is milled on premises right before mixing the dough. Leaven Each little grain packed with nutrients gives home to a whole community of wild yeast and bacteria specific to the particular type of grain. When flour is mixed with water and provided with good growing environment, these little guys work hard fermenting the dough, making it nutritionally more valuable, and of course adding impressive flavor to the bread. We use wild leaven in every recipe, thus making our loaves both tasty and healthy. In some cases we add a pinch of commercial yeast to offset the whole grain's natural resistance to rising.
