Jon and Amanda of Proof Bread

Jonathan Przybyl and Amanda Abou-Eid of Proof Bread

On this episode of the Sourdough Podcast micro-bakery owners Jon Przybyl and Amanda Abou- Eid join me to talk about their journey from customers to owners of Proof Bakery in Mesa, Arizona. Jon and Amanda retell their life changing decision to leave their office jobs to become bakers - transplanting Proof to their own garage. They describe their array of 30, all naturally leavened products, a typical week in their not-so-micro bakery, and the relationships they’ve build with their customers and community that continue to motivate them grow their business. 

Proof Bread is a micro bakery that Jon and Amanda operate from their converted garage, selling their bread at several farmer’s markets in the greater Phoenix area. Jon and Amanda took over Proof from the original owner just 3 short years ago, when they learned the owner was moving out of state. Just a few days later they decided to keep Proof going, showing up to learn the craft and shortly after, buying Proof, starting their new careers as bakers. And I am excited to have them on the podcast to share their journey.
