6 months ago I couldn’t tell you what a starter was.

Now my Saturdays start before sunrise and end with a line at my front door 🍞 just a small line up …

This is my bread journey so far, the burnt loaves, the 2am feedings, the crumb shots I was way too proud of, and my favorite taste tester.

Oak Ridges: come taste what all the flour dust is about. Front door stand every Saturday, 8:30–11am. Ring the bell 🔔

What’s your pick: sourdough, ciabatta, chocolate chip cookies or cinnamon rolls? 👇

This one felt like a breakthrough. 🥖

After weeks of adjusting the flour, dough strength, fermentation, shaping, scoring and steam, I finally got the kind of oven spring and opening I’d been chasing.

The crumb still isn’t exactly where I want it, but that’s part of learning. One loaf at a time, from our little home bakery in Oak Ridges.

Market day definitely doesn’t start at the market 😂

It starts the day before: with mixing, baking, labels, packing, more baking… and probably more coffee than necessary. Somewhere in the middle, Liam was simply enjoying his weekend while the rest of us kept going 😅

Then everything goes into the car, the tent goes up, the table slowly comes together, and suddenly all those hours at home turn into SpringWing Studio at Harvest King.

We came home tired, but honestly very happy. Thank you to everyone who stopped by, spoke with us and supported our little family bakery 🤍

Local pickup orders are open through the link in our bio, and we’ll be sharing our upcoming market dates there too.

There’s a 30-second window every Saturday where I stop breathing 😅

That’s when the ciabatta, after hours of fermenting into this fragile, air-filled thing - has to be cut and moved without collapsing. No shaping, no second chances. Just... don’t ruin it.

Six months ago I didn’t know what baking bread was. Now it’s the most rewarding part of my week.

If you want to taste what all that breath-holding is about, order for Saturday through the link in my bio 🍞

Apparently, this is what a “quiet” Saturday morning looks like around here 😂

Chocolate-chip cookies first, then ciabatta, flour absolutely everywhere, one suspiciously clean counter… and finally, breakfast.

What started as learning and practising at home has slowly turned into customer orders, our little front-door bread stand, and now preparations for our first Harvest King Farmers’ Market, which still feels a little crazy to say.

If you’re local to Oak Ridges or Richmond Hill, you can order through the link in our bio: and follow along for our market dates and weekly menu 🤍

Now the important question: are you reaching for the cookies or the ciabatta first?

You’d think the difficult part of ciabatta would be the mixing, folding or waiting for the dough to ferment.

For me, it’s this part. 😅

The dough is full of air and finally ready, and now I have to somehow divide it evenly without handling it too much or ruining what I spent hours building.

Some pieces end up a little longer, some a little wider… but honestly, that’s part of making ciabatta by hand. They don’t need to look identical to turn into beautiful bread. 🍞

Does anyone else overthink this part as much as I do?

One of my favourite moments isn’t only taking them out of the oven, it’s putting on the SpringWing label and seeing the whole batch ready to go. 🤎

From rolling the dough and spreading the cinnamon filling to baking and packing, this is how our sourdough cinnamon rolls come together in our Oak Ridges kitchen.

Available as singles or 4-packs for Saturday pickup. Order through the link in our bio.

This is actually from the beginning of my sourdough journey and I felt like sharing it😅

At that point, I was constantly fighting with sticky, weak dough. I tried mixing longer, adding more folds and changing the fermentation time… but nothing seemed to make a real difference.

Then I switched from all-purpose flour to strong baker’s flour—and this was the first dough I made with it.

The difference was obvious right away. It felt smoother, stronger and finally held itself together.

Of course, I later learned that flour was only one part of the story. I still had a lot to figure out about my starter, bulk fermentation, shaping, scoring and steam 😂 But at the time, this small change felt like a huge breakthrough.

What was one change that made sourdough finally start making sense for you?

Well… the test batch turned into a menu item 😂

After a few rounds of “just one more adjustment,” our sourdough cinnamon rolls are officially available. Soft, fluffy, buttery, and generously filled with cinnamon.

Available individually or as a 4-pack for Saturday pickup in Oak Ridges. Orders are open through the link in our bio.

Now the important question: middle roll or edge roll?

Well… the crumb made the decision for me.

This is the loaf from the dough I shaped differently in my last video. While shaping it, I wasn’t sure whether I was creating better tension or simply handling the dough too much, and there was only one way to find out.

The crumb came out light, soft and nicely aerated, and the slice had exactly the texture I was hoping for. One loaf isn’t enough to prove a method, but it was enough to earn another try.

I think this shaping method is staying. Would you try it?

For weeks, I thought shaping was the reason my sourdough kept spreading.

I watched more videos, tried different methods and pulled the dough tighter, but eventually realized that by the time it reaches the counter, most of the story has already been written.

Starter strength, gluten development and bulk fermentation all determine how the dough behaves here. Shaping matters, but it can’t create strength that isn’t already there.

This time, the dough finally held itself together, and honestly, that alone felt like progress.

Now the oven gets the final say. 👀
Follow along to see the bake and crumb next.
