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! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6920800c2e9d66127a9f0b1c/7a7b863e-c2eb-4026-acdc-7417a2406c22/Olive+and+Walnut+roll+cut.jpg About "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 https://www.rossbreadsrq.com/our-breads daily 0.75 2025-11-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6920800c2e9d66127a9f0b1c/e2f8e367-fc3e-4509-83e9-4daf9105f508/1.jpg Our Breads Sarasota Sourdough Sarasota Sourdough is a true reflection of artisan craftsmanship—simple, honest, and full of character.
