Swifties & Sourdough: Why We’re All in Our Sourdough Era

La Brea Bakery Artisan Sourdough Since 1989

If there’s one thing Taylor Swift has taught us, it’s that eras matter. Each one tells a story of craft, patience, reinvention, and community. At La Brea Bakery, we’ve been living in our sourdough era since 1989, and just like Taylor’s music, it’s timeless.
 

What Makes Sourdough Timeless

Sourdough isn’t a trend. It’s a classic, just like the songs you never skip. Our signature La Brea Bakery sourdough has been crafted with the same starter for decades, using just flour, water, salt, and time. The result? A loaf with character: tangy flavor, chewy texture, and a crust that always hits different.



 

The Eras Tour… But Make It Bread

Swifties know every album has its own aesthetic, and so does sourdough. Consider this your Sourdough Eras Tour:


1. Sourdough Loaf → Fearless (bright, golden, and iconic)



2. Roasted Garlic → Reputation (bold, unexpected, unforgettable)



3. Rosemary Olive Oil Round → Folklore (earthy, cozy, full of depth)



4. French Baguette → 1989 (bright lights, big city, made to be shared)



Which sourdough era are you in right now?

 

Patience, Craft, and Community

Just as a great song takes time to write, sourdough takes time to rise. Both are rooted in patience, detail, and the joy of sharing with others. Whether you’re making a sandwich that rivals an arena headliner or tearing into a boule around the table, sourdough brings people together the same way music does.
 

How to Live Your Own “Sourdough Era”

You don’t need a tour pass to join in. Here are three easy ways to embrace the sourdough moment at home:
