Starter Activation

Cold Fermentation

Dough Hydration

Woodfire Char Ring

We begin with a vibrant, mature sourdough starter, fed with heirloom blue corn flour to achieve peak activity and complex flavor development.

A meticulous 72-hour cold fermentation process breaks down gluten, enhancing digestibility and cultivating the signature open crumb structure.

Precise water ratios are calculated for optimal texture, allowing the high-hydration dough to develop a supple, extensible quality.

The final bake in a wood-fired oven creates a leopard-spotted crust, achieving the perfect balance of char, chew, and structural integrity.

Regional Science

Landrace Flavors, Engineered

Our commitment extends to the source. We integrate unique New Mexican ingredients, understanding their impact on fermentation and flavor profiles.

Hatch Green Chiles

Heirloom Blue Corn

Lacto-Fermented Oil

Flame-roasted to perfection, these chiles introduce a smoky heat and subtle sweetness that harmonizes with the wild yeast's tang.

Finely milled blue corn flour adds a distinct earthy sweetness and unique hydration properties, contributing to a denser, more resilient crust.

Red chile pods lacto-fermented into garlic oil provide a probiotic kick and a nuanced acidity, complementing the sourdough's complex notes.

The Vault Standard

Zero Commercial Yeast. Pure Regional Fermentation.

We uphold a strict adherence to traditional methods, eschewing shortcuts for the integrity of true wild fermentation and authentic New Mexican ingredients.
