Our Baking Philosophy

Founded in 2018, Elemental Baking represents a return to the fundamental principles of traditional baking. We believe that exceptional bread and pastries begin with four essential elements: premium organic flour, pure water, wild yeast cultures, and time-honored techniques passed down through generations.

Our master bakers combine European traditions with Pacific Northwest ingredients, creating unique flavors that reflect our local terroir. Every loaf is hand-shaped, naturally leavened, and baked in our stone hearth ovens to achieve the perfect crust and crumb.

From our signature sourdough made with 150-year-old starter culture to custom wedding cakes that tell your unique story, we approach each creation as both an art form and a celebration of community.
