Bread Maiden FAQs

I'll be adding more Frequently Asked Questions and Answers as I get them.

Q1: The #1 question I get asked is, where did you get the name "Bread Maiden"?

A1: To begin, I have one of those "Ayden" names that are cool to hate right now.  Back in grad school, our friends used to come up with funny nicknames for each other.  I didn't have a nickname yet and was giving another friend a hard time about it, when ON THE SPOT he came up with The Bread Maiden.  I loved it!  And it seemed right for the name of a bread blog.  Since then it's been a way to keep my posts on a theme.  Also it's pretty easy for people to remember.

Q2: I saw that you bake communion bread for your church.  How did you get started doing that?

A2:  Yes I do!  I started baking bread and other treats for my Sunday School class until I worked up the confidence to ask if I could take on communion bread.  I've been doing that for about two years now.  The experience is deeply meaningful to me, and I talk about the spiritual practice of feeding my community by baking for my church here

Q3: Why don't you show anyone's faces / share anyone's names in your blog?

A3: Privacy reasons.  I like to be able to tell people about the blog rather than them coming across it randomly while perusing the internets.

Q4: But I just read a post and it had your son's/brother's/your face on it!

A4: Ok, you got me.  But I try to stick to that policy.

Q5: Can I send you suggestions for what to bake next?

A5: Of course! I'm always interested in trying something new.  Just leave a comment on one of my posts.


Q6: Do you bake for a living?

A6: I bake when I have free time (which isn't often).  Mr. Bread Maiden and the Little Bread Dudes keep me pretty busy!
