      <image:title>About - Welcome to my baking journey</image:title>
      <image:caption>For over 30 years, I've nurtured my passion for bread baking, ignited by my first encounter with sourdough in Tuscany, Italy. From farmers markets in Connecticut to launching Ross' Bread in Ridgefield in 2009 (a thriving part of the Ridgefield, Connecticut community to this day!), my love for baking continues to grow. Now, I'm excited to share limited-quantity offerings of freshly baked bread with friends and family!</image:caption>

      <image:title>About</image:title>
      <image:caption>"Compared to bread that uses traditional dry yeast, sourdough bread is created using a starter that undergoes a fermentation process involving healthy bacteria and naturally occurring yeasts. Sourdough bread has a lower glycemic index. This is true because the fermentation process makes starch in the bread less available for digestion and absorption into the bloodstream.” The Mayo Clinic October, 2024</image:caption>
