Carla Finley has seen her Brooklyn apartment-based micro-bakery take on a handful of evolutions. From the early days of the pandemic shutdowns to a full-swing bread operation, to slowing down and re-calibrating with an eye toward the future, Apt. 2 Bread has resiliently ebbed and flowed like the sourdough starter at the heart of the operation. In this episode, Carla and Dressler chat on a couch in the (temporarily) packed-up bakery and discuss Carla’s food industry journey, her love of bread, the elusive question of work-life balance when working in kitchens, the concept of not-for-profit restaurants, a technique to make cinnamon rolls especially soft, her plans for a hands-on European bread education (which she’s now fully in the midst of, and chronicling via social media and Substack), and so much more.
