Homemade sourdough · Wauseon, Ohio
Providence BreadOrganic sourdough, three days in the making
Sourdough loaves, bagels, cookies and cinnamon rolls, baked by our family and set out in our self-serve garage shop. Open Fridays from 1 PM until we sell out.
- Organic sourdough
- Unbleached
- Unbromated
- Naturally fermented
Three days to make. Worth every hour.
Most bread goes from flour to shelf in about three hours. Ours takes three days. Our sourdough rises slowly and naturally, the old way, so every loaf has time to build its deep flavor, its crackly golden crust and its soft, tender inside.
Our classic loaf needs just three ingredients: flour, water and salt. The rest is patience, and a family who loves to bake.
- Organic flour
- Unbleached
- Unbromated
- Unenriched
- Naturally fermented
- No preservatives

Welcome to our bread family
Providence Bread began with sourdough baked for our own family. Today we bake for a much bigger one: our bread family. Many of you drive in from Swanton, Whitehouse and all over Northwest Ohio, and every one of you matters to us.
Stop by and you'll often find free samples on the counter, and when the season is right, a seasonal treat on us, like a cup of apple cider in the fall.
We're a faith-centered family, and baking is a family affair. Family and friends help us mix, shape, bake and fill the shelves every week, with willing hands and a lot of joy.
100% of reviewers recommend us on Facebook.

All of our bread contains wheat. Many bakes also contain milk, butter or eggs, and some contain nuts, peanut butter or sesame. Every package lists its ingredients. Please message us with any question before you buy.
