Our Story
Riverside Sourdough started with a starter that's been fed every day for years — and a belief that the best bread doesn't need shortcuts. We live in De Soto, we bake for De Soto, and we don't take shortcuts.
Every loaf goes through a natural fermentation that takes 24 to 48 hours. No improvers, no preservatives — just flour, water, salt, and time. What comes out the other side is crust, crumb, and flavor that you can't rush.

What We Serve
Our menu changes with the day and the season. Here's what you'll typically find on our counter.
Classic boules, batards, and specialty loaves — each one shaped by hand and baked until the crust sings.
Locally roasted, carefully pulled. Drip, pour-over, espresso — your morning ritual done right.
Sandwiches, open-faced toasts, and small plates built on our fresh bread with local toppings.
Buttery croissants, fruit tarts, and seasonal sweets — baked fresh every morning before the doors open.
Take a jar of our living starter home and bake like a De Soto local. Instructions included.
Event catering, party platters, and pre-orders for pickups — just give us a call ahead.

The Process
Great sourdough follows a timeline, not a shortcut. Here's what goes into every loaf we bake.
Flour and water rest together so the gluten develops naturally — no kneading rush, just time.
We fold in the starter and let the dough rest for 24 to 48 hours. The wild yeast does the work.
Each loaf is shaped by hand, scored, and given a final proof before it hits the oven.
Hot deck, steam, and a deep golden crust. We let every loaf cool before it goes on the counter.
