Team Rose Bread: The Little Cottage Bakery That Could

Welcome back to Pizza Quest!


The cottage bakery movement is a global phenomenon and we have here, in my hometown of Charlotte, NC, a shining example of a rising star of this movement.  Doug and Kaitlin Rose, along with their "team" of four kids (ages 9-16), are cranking out amazing 100% sourdough breads and bagels (and other inventive sourdough products made with heirloom and ancient grain flours), from a small bakeshop constructed inside their carport. Every loaf is pre-sold via subscription before it ever hits the shelves and, after a relentless six year commitment to learning the craft and growing the business, the Roses are ready to make the huge leap to a brick and mortar bakery located about a mile from their home (and, I might hope, to reclaiming full use of their home for, well, home stuff). This is an inspirational story about single-mindedness and grit, and a great case study for how to grow a business for anyone who has ever had an entrepreneurial vision of their own. One obvious takeaway: stay patient and be resilient. Hear all about it in this delightful and insightful conversation with my favorite local bakers, Doug and Kaitlin Rose, founders of Team Rose Bread. You can follow their ongoing journey via https://teamrosebread.com/ and @teamrosebread on Instagram.
