On one of my mother’s hand-written recipe cards, she wrote, be happy while making. Baking Samurai Bread isn’t just about the delicious results. My hope is that you find joy in the process. Set up your space with reverence. Bake with loved ones. Share with others.

A friend of mine said “I’ve always wanted to be someone who can bake bread at home!” With Samurai Bread mix, ANYONE can make fresh, delicious bread. The steps are easy to follow > add water to mix, let dough rise, grease your custom-made pan, and bake!

My mother adapted the original recipe with a custom made baguette pan that allows for the fluffy interior and unforgettable crust. Each Samurai Bread kit comes with your own custom made pan, made in Vermont. Don’t forget to grease it thoroughly - this flavors the crust and ensures your baguettes don’t stick!

I remember my grandmother’s hands so clearly, their texture, color, gestures. I can still see the way they moved in the kitchen. Making Samurai Bread is easy, and it also requires you to get your hands dirty. Every loaf, in every kitchen, with every baker, will be different. That’s the magic of it. The love, oil, and life in your hands will make your bread unique to you.

Each Samurai Bread Mix yields two loaves of bread. You can freeze the second loaf and reheat later, make French Toast in the morning, or offer the second loaf to a friend. Don’t be surprised if it disappears quickly :)
