About Crumb & Cauldron Cottage Bakery in Peoria, AZ

Where Breadmaking Meets Magic

Welcome to Crumb & Cauldron

Where Bread Meets Magic

Nestled at the crossroads of hearth and spellcraft, Crumb & Cauldron is more than a bakery — it’s a portal to an enchanted culinary realm. Every loaf crafted is steeped in intention and wild-fermented with love.

Born from the belief that food should nourish body and spirit, our sourdough creations blend age-old techniques with a touch of alchemy. Each boule is hand-shaped and cauldron baked, whispering tales of forest fairies, moonlit rituals, and the quiet power of slow, sacred fermentation.

We are a cottage bakery rooted in the desert wilds of Arizona, conjuring small-batch breads using fresh ingredients, grains, and wild-captured sourdough cultures.

Whether you seek grounding with our Plain Enchantment loaf, or transformation with the rich, decadent spell of Hex Your Ex, there’s magic in every bite.

Our Enchanted Offerings

Round Sourdough Loaves in Various Flavors

Whether you seek to ground your senses with the wholesome embrace of our Plain Enchantment loaf, spark bold new beginnings with the decadent, cocoa-kissed mischief of Hex Your Ex, ignite your spirit with the fiery zest of Dragon’s Breath, or wander the woodland paths of flavor with the herb-kissed, savory magic of Forager’s Delight, Crumb & Cauldron welcomes you with open arms and flour-dusted fingers.

The offerings from our at-home bakery are small-batch and crafted with deep intention — because we believe that magic is most potent when it is personal. Each sourdough round loaf is a living spell, hand-shaped under the full moon and infused with the rhythms of hearth and heart. We are not a factory of bread; we are a tiny, glowing hearthfire in a busy world, inviting you to slow down, break bread, and reconnect with wonder.

When the forest sleeps, the ovens do too. Our baking schedule flows with the cycles of the seasons and the silver pull of the moon, making each bake a fleeting treasure — limited in quantity but limitless in love.

Discover Plain Enchantment, Hex Your Ex, Dragon’s Breath, or Forager’s Delight for yourself and experience the magic of Crumb & Cauldron, your local cottage bakery in Peoria, Arizona. You can also request a custom enchanted loaf!
