Hannah Bakery Will Open in East Austin With Cookies and Bread | Eater Austin

"I learned that Hannah Casparian is looking to open her own bakery operating out of a converted shipping container somewhere in East Austin, with the final address to be revealed once paperwork is settled. She's raising funds to finish converting the container into a proper bakery, purchase equipment and ingredients, and pay rent — she’s seeking $50,000 and had raised half that amount at the time of publication — and the build-out will include a patio with seating. The menu will include a wide range of breads (banana bread, German brown bread, Irish soda bread, pita, focaccia and focaccia pizza), baked goods (brownies, cakes, cookies), and other items like granola, salads, soups, and spreads, and she plans to make use of grains from Barton Springs Mill. Casparian, a dietician who studied at the Culinary Institute of America, holds a bachelor’s degree in nutritional science, serves on the board of Slow Food Austin, and brings experience from working in the kitchen at St. David’s Episcopal Church, as uShip’s corporate chef, freelance private-chef work, and pop-up events." - Nadia Chaudhury
