Be Well For Life Bakery Moved out of the city and started a homestead selling organic sourdough & hand-crafted herbal teas. I recently retired from the U.S.

Hi, I'm Kristi along with my husband Nick, and we are the owners and operators of this small veteran owned business in Romeo, Michigan. Air Force after devoting 20 years of service to this great country. I loved being part of the military, along with my husband who also served for 6 years, but I knew that eventually it would come to an end and I would have to find my next path in life. I have always had a passion for health, fitness and nutrition, and consider myself a lifetime student when it comes to all things health and fitness related. I studied Health and Sports Sciences and earned a Bachelor's degree specializing in exercise science. Tea has been a daily ritual for me for quite sometime so making my own blends based on things I have learned just kind of fell right into place as a next step for me. I hope you love all the blends I have created as much as I do! Sourdough has become my recent passion and I am so excited to share it with you. It is becoming increasingly hard to find good quality food at the grocery store which led me to making my own :)

Stay tuned for more teas and sourdough products...I have quite a few more blend ideas that will be making their way to the store soon. Also, more offerings in the health and wellness products and services area...I'm so excited for the future, make sure to follow us on social media and stay in touch!!!

Let’s talk FERMENTATION. 🍞🤎

If you’ve ever wondered why I use less starter in my dough, it all comes down to fermentation timing!

More starter doesn’t automatically mean better bread. The amount of starter you use affects how quickly your dough ferments, how much time you have to work with it, and how you plan your baking schedule.

I’m a big believer in learning the why behind sourdough instead of just following a recipe and hoping for the best. 🙌

Once you understand fermentation, you can start working WITH your dough instead of constantly trying to figure out what went wrong.

Some kitchen tools are fun to buy… and then there are the ones you use so often they practically deserve their own paycheck. 😂

These are 7 tools I reach for over and over again in my sourdough kitchen, from starter prep to mixing dozens of loaves at a time.

Whether you're baking a loaf or running a little microbakery of your own, having the RIGHT tools makes life so much easier!

And yes, I've tried plenty of things that weren't worth the money, so these are the ones that have earned their spot in my kitchen. 🙌

👇 Want the links to my favorite tools, including those dough bins everyone asks me about?

Okay, so I changed ONE thing about my sourdough sandwich loaf… and I didn't expect it to make this much of a difference. 😂🍞

The recipe? Exactly the same.

The dough size? Exactly the same.

The pan? Different!

I switched to a shorter, longer loaf pan, and now the bread is much more like a traditional sandwich loaf. It's easier to slice, fits in the toaster perfectly, and my new nonstick pan releases the bread beautifully without any oil or butter.

And apparently, you guys approve! 😉❤️

Don't worry — you can absolutely still make this recipe in a Pullman pan. I'm just sharing an update that's been working really well in my kitchen.

Ever wonder why one sourdough recipe calls for 50g of starter and another calls for 100g? 👀🍞

It's not necessarily because one recipe is better than the other!

The amount of starter you use affects how quickly your dough ferments. And that can make a BIG difference in your baking schedule, dough strength, and even the flavor of your bread.

More starter generally means faster fermentation. Less starter gives you more time to work with.

Neither is wrong! It's about understanding your dough and finding what works for YOUR schedule. 🙌
