Our Kitchen
Hey, we're Andrew & Claire—home bakers chronicling our sourdough adventure from Indianapolis, Indiana.
This is not a bakery or studio—just the two of us in our house, sharing the gluten-free recipes we discover, tweak, and fall in love with.
No fancy chef jackets—just flour-dusted hoodies and our cozy Indianapolis kitchen.
We fell in love with sourdough the moment we realized it could be meditative. When gluten had to go, we refused to settle for cardboard loaves. So we tinkered with every recipe we could find, logging hydration levels, oven spring failures, and triumphant crumbs.
Friends kept asking what we were trying, then neighbors, then folks online. This site is simply where we park the recipes we stumble upon or adapt—so you can bake alongside us.
What Guides Us
A cozy home-baking philosophy
Baked with empathy
Every loaf is designed for folks navigating allergies, sensitivities, or just a craving for better bread.
Rooted in grains
We lean on teff, sorghum, buckwheat, and heirloom grains that offer flavor, structure, and nourishment.
Slow & seasonal
Fermentation schedules follow the rhythm of Indiana seasons, bringing in produce, herbs, and mood lighting.
About the kitchen
A few practical answers
Who writes The Kittridge Kitchen?
Andrew and Claire Kittridge write and test The Kittridge Kitchen from their Indianapolis home. They document the formulas, fermentation cues, successes, and failures behind every recipe and guide.
Is The Kittridge Kitchen a bakery?
No. The Kittridge Kitchen is a home-baking recipe and education site, not a commercial bakery, storefront, or professional test kitchen.
Are these recipes safe for people with celiac disease?
The recipes use gluten-free ingredients and emphasize avoiding wheat cross-contact, but every baker must verify ingredient certifications and their own kitchen setup. Sourdough fermentation does not make wheat, rye, or barley safe for celiac disease.
