About Us
Welcome to The Cottage Kitchen! I’m Brian Pitts, and together with my wife Susan, we bring the heart of our hobby farm to your table. Leveraging my extensive culinary background, I create an array of artisan baked goods, including sourdough bread, English muffins, delightful banana bread, ciabatta and more. Our commitment doesn't stop there; our expansive garden provides a rich selection of fresh produce and farm-fresh eggs. Order online or join us at the seasonal, downtown Baldwin City farmer's market every Saturday, to savor the organic flavors of our labor and love that make each of our products truly special.

Sourdough is a natural fermentation process making it a healthy gut probiotic.

Fresh Sourdough
WHY SOURDOUGH?
-
Sourdough is nutritious because the fermentation process reduces compounds that can hinder absorption of nutrients.
-
The long fermentation process breaks gluten and other proteins down, making sourdough easier to digest. This is especially beneficial for those with mild gluten sensitivities.
-
Sourdough fermentation can produce prebiotics, which feeds beneficial bacteria in the gut, potentially aiding digestion and gut health.
-
A healthy gut microbiome can lead to better absorption of essential nutrients.
-
Sourdough bread has a lower glycemic index compared to other breads causing a slower rise in blood sugar levels which is especially beneficial for those managing blood sugar levels.
-
Sourdough bread is made from natural fermentation using wild yeast rather than commercial yeast.
-
The fermentation process naturally preserves the bread so there's no need for added preservatives.
-
Sourdough bread is made with natural ingredients, no mystery ingredients.
-
Sourdough bread can be a good source of fiber, iron, and vitamins.
-
The fermentation process can increase antioxidants levels in sourdough bread.
-
The combination of soluble fiber and resistant starch in sourdough can contribute to a feeling of fullness.
-
Sourdough bread contains folate, a B vitamin that is particularly beneficial for pregnant women and heart health.
