Frequently asked questions

Can I place a preorder?

Sure! We offer a limited preorder menu each week. Order from our most popular items and pick up at your convenience! Preorders can be placed at hotplate.com/spreadtheloaves and open Saturdays at noon for the following week. They close two days prior to pick up so we have enough time to prepare your order just for you!

Can you slice the sourdough loaves?

We sure can! As long as the loaf is completely cooled, we are happy to slice it for you. We recommend that you either eat or freeze the loaf the day it’s sliced, though. We don’t use any added preservatives in our loaves so they’ll stay fresh longer if you slice as needed, but freezing the slices keeps them well. Simply pull a slice out and toast it whenever you want one!

We also usually have pre-sliced and frozen loaves available for purchase in our self-serve freezer right inside the door. These loaves are sliced the day they were baked for peak freshness!

Do you have anything gluten free?

We do not. Our bakery is very small and it would be nearly impossible for us to completely prevent cross-contamination. Sometimes gluten-sensitive individuals can tolerate our sourdough loaves since we do a long fermentation, however. We recommend visiting our friends at Sprinkles and Spoons for all of your gluten-free needs!

Are you hiring?

Not at this time, but please keep your eyes on our social media! We may be looking for seasonal help during the holidays and will announce our needs there if so.
