In the beginning of Bakehouse Bread and Cookie Company there was... yeast; a tasty microbe that floated wild and carefree, avoiding air purifiers and filters in neighborhoods near you.

Why, you might ask, we chose to capture wild yeast rather than to go the easy, pragmatic, practical, well trodden route and buy the manufactured, prepackaged, handy dandy commercially raised yeast? Well, you could say the answer to that question begins over 5,000 years ago when the Ancient Egyptian bread makers first discovered yeast's leavening properties. Or perhaps you could find the origins of our answer some 2,100 years ago when the first Baker's Guild was formed in Rome (168 B.C.). Or, if you are not one for ancient history, we could jump to the 1950's when the success of processed "wonder" breads reached its pinnacle, dominating the bread boxes of American homes. Our story begins the days when REAL bread lost its fan-base. The days when the United States first began to forget about how much it loved the scent of bread, fresh from a bakery.
