Stinson Breads

Hey, folks!

Registration is open for our Sourdough 101 class next Tuesday, 11/12! Join Matthew and Anna Claire for a comprehensive look at making sourdough at home, complete with that signature crackly crust and velvety crumb. We'll teach you to make sourdough work around your life, and not the other way around.

You'll learn everything from sourdough starter care to troubleshooting common mixing/shaping/baking problems, all while getting your hands on the dough at each step in the process. Plus, you'll take home our sourdough starter, printed course materials, and gain access to online process videos.

Visit stinsonbreads.com to learn more and register!

Best,
Matthew and Anna Claire

Do we need to say more? Cinnamon Rolls available in the storefront today!

Saturday pre-orders are live at stinsonbreads.com 🍞🥖🥐

You asked, we answered.

We’ve got a quick menu highlight for you this morning…table rolls! These soft, fluffy sourdough rolls are perfect for the dinner table and available everyday in the storefront until sold out.

🍂 THANKSGIVING PRE-ORDERS ARE LIVE AT STINSONBREADS.COM 🍂

It's finally that time of year! Thanksgiving is just around the corner and we have a menu packed full of breads, desserts, and pastries for your holiday table (and the subsequent leftovers!).

Swipe to view all of the offerings and head over to stinsonbreads.com to place your order.

Pickup days will be either Tuesday, Nov. 26 or Wednesday, Nov. 27 from 10am-2pm at the bakery. Be sure to add your desired pickup date to your cart. If you need an alternative pickup date to work better with your plans, just shoot us a message or email at [email protected] and we'll see what we can do!

It's always humbling when we think about the loaves of bread that become part of your dinner table every week. For us to be part of your Thanksgiving table, too, well, that's just an honor for us!

We hope these treats make your festivities just a little more special (and delicious).

Cheers,
Matthew, Anna Claire, and the Stinson Breads Team

Hey folks!

Slight departure this week from our normal Saturday preorders. Instead of ordering on the website, we invite you to call the bakery at 334-744-5174 to pre-order any of the items listed above!

Remember, you can call the bakery any day we're open to pre-order items as well 🥖🥐🍞

Looking forward to seeing you! In the meantime, our bread and pastry cases are stocked and we have chicken salad & pimento cheese sandwiches available every day! Plus, we're testing some new fall items so be on the lookout 👀

Best,
SB

Top of the morning, neighbors!

There's some city construction happening on 7th Street today that has access to North Railroad Ave blocked off.

Have no fear though, we will still be open as usual!

When you tell folks about us, feel free to refer to us as "that little bread bakery between the building demolition and construction zones" 😅

🚧👷‍♀️🍞🥐🥖👷‍♀️🏗️

We had such a great time teaching the wonderful kids at Emerald Cove Early Learning Center about the bakery!

They were an inquisitive bunch and quite enjoyed the treats!

Thank you for having us!

Howdy folks!

Here's this Saturday's preorder menu!

The notable updates can be summed up in 3 words:

JALAPENO. CHEDDAR. SOURDOUGH.

Yes, now that the temps are cooler and we are firmly in the middle of football season, it's time to bring back one of the best flavor combos around.

Pair it with chili. Make a sandwich. Put cream cheese on it and start your day with a (mild) kick!

Preorders for Saturday are open now on the website! Preorders will be available for pickup beginning at 9:00AM*

*Preordered Almond Croissant Boxes will be available beginning at 10:00AM*

See you Saturday! And remember that we've got fresh bread and pastries all week as well :)

Have a great week!

We had such a wonderful time last Friday during our bread class!

Getting to share our bakery with our community members like this is such a fulfilling experience for us. We get to dive into what goes on in the bakery and shine a light on all the work that is required to make fresh bread and pastry and then translate that to approachable practices you can take home!

This month we've got two classes open for you to join!

October 16th - Sourdough 101 (now open!)

- a comprehensive hands on class aimed to make sourdough baking approachable and give you the knowledge to confidently make bread at home.

October 22nd - Laminated Pastries (only a few spots left!)

- a guided hands-on journey through the creation of croissant dough and puff pastry! Learn all the basics plus some key troubleshooting insights that'll equip you to make these flaky treats at home!

Both classes include printed materials, videos, and sourdough starter.

Head to the website (stinsonbreads.com) and grab your tickets today!

Happy baking,
Stinson Breads

Hey, Neighbor!

Saturdays lately have been a blast thanks to you all who come out in force to grab fresh baked goodies first thing in the morning as well as those of you who take advantage of our preorder option through our website!

In response to some feedback we've been getting and in an effort to make sure the same value combos are available to both in-store and preorder customers, we've reimagined the weekly preorder menu.

As you can see, we've gone all in on the combos to make sure you're getting the same level of per item discounts that are available in store when you bundle items.

The only trade off is that these are curated assortments, so they come as is. We've reviewed all of the preorders we've received the past few weeks, and we are confident everyone will find something to suit their fancy!

Preorders for this weekend are live and will close on Thursday morning at 10:00AM!*

*With the exception of the Almond Croissant Box, it closes Wednesday at 10:00AM because they require more prep time :)

We appreciate all of you and hope this makes your ordering experience more convenient!

Warmly,
Stinson Breads

Hi folks!

Due to anticipated weather conditions from Hurricane Helene, we are closing up shop at 2pm today. Swing by this morning and grab your severe weather bread and pastries!

Stay safe out there,

Heyo, folks!

We've got some quick updates for you about bakery goings-on.

Starting tomorrow we'll have biscuits everyday in the morning for your breakfast needs. For now we can offer plain, with jam, or with pimento cheese!

Also, starting tomorrow we'll have the Smoked Chicken Salad on Croissant for lunch everyday (while supplies last...)

Then starting on Thursday we'll have a new autumnal muffin for you to try! It's Cranberry Orange Walnut! 🍁 🍂

That's it for now. We'll be back at 8:00 tomorrow morning with more fresh bread and pastries for you :)

All the best,
SB

All items except for Almond Croissants will be ready for pickup at 9:00AM. Almond croissants will be available at 10:00AM (they take a little longer than most pastries 😅)

Head on over to the website to place your order!

How many requests have we gotten over the years for biscuits? Too many to count...

This Saturday, we're fulfilling those requests and baking up a couple trays of buttermilk biscuits (insanely fluffy interior, perfect golden brown crust, topped with flaky sea salt).

You can buy them individually ($4) or as a biscuit sandwich with our house made pimento cheese ($7.50).

See y'all on Saturday!
