Their story
Breadtopia is run by Eric and Denyce Rusch from Fairfield, Iowa, along with family members on the team. Eric had been playing with sourdough since his twenties.
A New York Times story about Jim Lahey's no-knead bread set him experimenting again, and the couple launched Breadtopia in 2006. It has grown into a go-to source for home bakers, with recipes, video tutorials and an active baking forum.
How it's made
Breadtopia sells organic and heirloom grains, fresh flours, bakeware and grain mills chosen for home bakers. Its free recipes and tutorials focus on no-knead and sourdough methods that take only minutes of hands-on work.
Our featured pick
Round Proofing Basket w/ Liner
$25.00
At Breadtopia have a little bit of a fetish for bread proofing baskets (also called brotforms and bannetons). So ’re constantly looking for the ultimate proofing basket and have tried all of them.
Why we carry them
We love Breadtopia for making good bread feel doable at home. Their tools and grains are a great gift for any budding baker.
