New Baker Next Steps

You’ve attended an information session! You’ve created a profile! You’re ready to start baking, but…what now? Here are your next steps:

Step 1: Choose your Recipe/Formula – Whether you’re baking bread or energy cookies, you’ll need our signature Community Loaves formula (aka recipe). Log into Volunteer Dashboard and locate the blue “Formulas” button. Click to view our different bread and cookie formulas. Need help deciding what to bake? Learn more about our offerings here.

Step 2: Review Formula & Create List of Needed Supplies

Step 3: Order Supplies – You’ll order some materials such as flour and packaging directly from Community Loaves. Our monthly flour fundraiser is a terrific way for us to pass savings on professional grade flours to you our dedicated volunteer bakers.

1. 1. Supplies are available for pickup at our Kirkland warehouse – every Tuesday from 10:00 – 4:00 pm.
   2. Alternatively, we deliver once a month. In the check-out process you can select the date/address combination that works best for you.
   3. Not all supplies will be purchased through Community Loaves, many of the items needed to complete the recipe you will find at your local retailer.

Step 4: Bake, package, and freeze your items! Find more info about packaging and storage here.

Step 5: Donate your items on the next Donation Sunday! More info about How to Donate here.

Please check out our robust FAQs for more info, and don’t hesitate to contact your hub leader if you have additional questions.

Welcome to Community Loaves! We’re glad to bake the world a breader place with you!
