Meet the baker

Hi, I'm Gerard.

Gerard, founder and baker behind Loaves by Gerard

I started baking bread in 2015 with an automatic bread machine. That didn't last very long. What followed was a lot of sourdough, a lot of experimenting, and eventually a lot of challah. Loaves by Gerard started because friends kept telling me I should sell what I was already baking anyway.
