What began as a hobby for Fabio and Candice Uyttewaal quickly grew into something bigger — a way to share handcrafted, authentic bread and pastries with their community.
Dutch Oven Bread Co. started in their home kitchen, experimenting with slow fermentation, natural leavening, and the baking technique of using a Dutch oven pot. Offering door to door deliveries to friends, family and neighbors, the demand for real bread quickly grew and so did their customer base.
In 2023, Fabio and Candice expanded their home bakery into a commercial kitchen located in the Edgewater industrial center. After years of improving their sourdough and pastry techniques, they decided it was time to give their products the recognition they deserved – a retail space of their own. An incredible opportunity to open their shop on Canal St. in downtown NSB presented itself and it was an immediate success! Fabio and Candice feel honored and grateful to serve the community that has helped their business thrive and they look forward to what the future holds for Dutch Oven!
We focus on small batches, long fermentation times, and hands-on techniques that prioritize quality over speed. Each bread is shaped by hand and baked with steam which results in a crust, texture, and depth of flavor that can’t be rushed or replicated by mass production.
We believe bread should be nourishing and simple. No unnecessary shortcuts or additives. Just flour, water, salt, and time. Our pastries are made using high quality butter from New Zealand and the art of laminating (layering dough and butter) in house. It’s a labor of love, but the difference can be seen and tasted in each delicate croissant and pastry.
Dutch Oven Breads is proud to be community-focused. We bake for local families, regulars who know exactly what day their favorite loaf comes out, and new customers discovering artisan bread for the first time. Whether you’re pairing a loaf with dinner or bringing it to a gathering, our goal is the same — to make bread that feels like home.
As we continue to grow, our commitment remains unchanged. We’ll keep baking the way we started: thoughtfully, traditionally, and with a deep respect for the craft.
Thank you for being part of our story.
We only sell what we've tried and love! That's why we chose Pisgah Coffee Roasters for our espresso beans. We currently offer hot drinks only and feature homemade syrups by Kane's Coffee Co.
Long fermented and made by hand, creating a perfect crust and a tender, well-structured crumb. Sourdough is also easier to digest, making it a healthier option.
Using high-quality New Zealand butter, time and patience, our laminated pastries are flaky, buttery and simply indulgent.
