Simply Sourdough provides fresh-baked goods to Liberty Hill When she started making sourdough in 2022, Simply Sourdough owner Kellsey Hibbs didn’t think she had room in her life to start a bakery. As the mother to four young children, taking care of her family was a full-time job. Three years and an estimated 5,000 loaves of bread later, Hibbs is now running Simply Sourdough out of her home in Liberty Hill’s Orchard Ridge neighborhood, producing dozens of loaves of fresh- baked bread and treats every week. The backstory When Hibbs’ husband was laid o in 2022, the family was left without income for ve months. Hibbs began brainstorming ideas to generate some money. When she found a sourdough baking com- munity on TikTok, she decided to give it a try. Demand for her baked goods grew so high that she decided to formally start a business, founding Simply Sourdough LLC in October 2023. How it works Since Simply Sourdough doesn’t have a store- front, customers can place orders online. Hibbs bakes orders on Tuesday, and puts orders out for pickup on her front porch by 4 p.m. The bakery also produces cookies, cinnamon rolls, pizza dough and toaster wa es, all made with Hibbs’ sourdough.
Simply Sourdough also has baked goods like sourdough chocolate chip cookies and pizza dough.
