Welcome to The Little Artisan Bakery: Handmade sourdough, from my kitchen to your table.

 

Hi, I’m Caroline Marazzi — baker, founder, and the hands behind every loaf at The Little Artisan Bakery.

 

Where it all began...

​

My journey with sourdough started in 2019, during a workshop tucked away in the Devon countryside. Something about the rhythm of baking — the simplicity, the patience, the quiet transformation of flour, water, and salt — completely captivated me. 

 

From home oven to community bakery....

​

In 2021, with the support of my friends and family, I decided to take a leap. I secured a small business loan and converted part of my home in Great Dunmow into a tiny micro bakery. I started sharing my bread on social media, and to my surprise, people responded with incredible warmth and enthusiasm.

 

What began with a few loaves a week quickly grew into something more. Local restaurants, cafés, farm shops, and village stores began placing orders. It was clear — people were hungry for real bread, made slowly and simply.

 

Growing with the dough...

​

By the summer of 2022, I had outgrown my home kitchen and moved the bakery to a new space on Sparlings Farm in Felsted. It's here that I continue to bake every loaf by hand, using the same slow-fermented methods that sparked my love for sourdough in the first place.

 

Bread with heart...

​

For me, sourdough is more than just bread — it's a living, breathing craft. It connects us to the land, to tradition, and to one another. Every loaf I bake is made with care, using just three ingredients: flour, water, and salt. No shortcuts, no additives — just time, skill, and love.

 

Thank you for supporting this little bakery and for choosing to eat real bread. I’m so grateful to be part of your table.

 

With warmth,
