As a fan of all things local and handmade, I love nothing more than meeting passionate entrepreneurs who turn a hobby into something truly special. That’s exactly what Fabio and Candice Uyttewaal have done with Dutch Oven Bread Co., a cozy, community-focused bakery that’s quickly making a name for itself in Edgewater.
Founded in March 2020, Dutch Oven Bread Co. specializes in sourdough-based breads, bagels and desserts. Whether it’s their decadent, oversized cinnamon buns or their infamous Cruffin – a flaky croissant-muffin hybrid that melts in your mouth – this bakery is all about creating mouthwatering, handmade treats. If you’re a fan of artisan baking, trust me, you’ll want to visit them ASAP.
The Inspiring Journey of Dutch Oven Bread Co.
When I first met Fabio and Candice, it was clear that their passion for baking was contagious. Originally, they started baking from their home kitchen, but thanks to overwhelming community support, they’ve expanded to a commercial space on 504 Pullman Rd., where they continue to churn out fresh, preservative-free, and flavorful breads using traditional techniques.\
The Uyttewaals’ journey began as a simple love for baking and all things food related.! Their name was inspired by Fabio‘s Dutch heritage as well as the baking technique used for sourdough bread which utilizes a heavy, cast-iron baking pot known as a Dutch oven. Their dedication to the craft is evident in every loaf they make, especially their signature sourdough, which is perfectly crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. It’s no surprise that both local residents and businesses have embraced their creations. From catering custom orders to offering bread-making classes (yes, you can now learn how to bake your own focaccia!), they’re helping the community get more hands-on with their food.
Dutch Oven Bread Co. Bread Subscription Service
For those who like to plan ahead, Dutch Oven Bread Co. offers a bread subscription service with pickup at three locations, making it easy to get fresh, non-GMO, preservative-free sourdough on a regular basis. Subscribers can choose between an individual or family plan, and the perks are fantastic: 20 percent off at markets and their Rise Café location just by mentioning you’re a subscriber.
From my own experience, this bakery has the perfect balance of craftsmanship and heart. Whether you’re a bread enthusiast or just looking to add some wow-factor to your next gathering, Dutch Oven Bread Co. should be at the top of your list.
