On this Season Two Finale of The Sourdough Podcast, baker Betsy Gonzalez joins me to talk about her sourdough journey and the bakers from around the world that shaped her vision for her own bakery Osono Bread, which she opened in 2018. We talk about her decision to highlight and support her Local Grain Economy through her business practices and some of the challenges she’s faced baking during a pandemic. And Betsy leads an important discussion about race in the hospitality industry and how the cottage bakery can be most effective in the fight for racial equality.
My guest today is baker Betsy Gonzalez, owner of the award winning bakery Osono Bread in Atlanta, Georgia. Betsy is a community supported baker who founded Osono Bread after traveling through Europe and working in several bakeries and being inspired by their old world approach to bread. Betsy has made it her mission to connect her community to their local grain economy through the practice of making naturally leavened breads. She is an inspiration to myself and many others in our small but growing cottage baker community.
