Our Baker's Journey

My love for baking started in my home kitchen, a place of comfort and creativity. What began as a simple joy of feeding my family soon blossomed into a profound fascination with the ancient art of bread making. I discovered the magic of sourdough – the living, breathing starter, the slow fermentation process that unlocks incredible flavors and textures, and the wholesome goodness it brings.

The decision to turn this passion into LUANNE E ANILE, a micro bakery right here in Weirton, was a natural progression. It was born from a desire to share authentic, slow-fermented bread and artisanal pastries with my neighbors and friends. For me, it’s not just about baking; it's about a commitment to quality, to traditional methods, and to bringing something truly special back to our community's tables.

Every crumb tells a story of dedication, from carefully selected ingredients to hours of nurturing the dough. It's an invitation to experience real food, made with heart, right here in Weirton, WV.

What is a Micro Bakery?

As a micro bakery, we operate on a small, domestic scale. This means every loaf and pastry receives our full, undivided attention. It allows us to be agile, creative with our seasonal menu, and ensures you receive a product made with the utmost care, directly from the baker's hands.

This intimate approach to baking guarantees unparalleled quality, freshness, and a true connection to the food you put on your table.
