About Heather Thomas, That Bread Lady!

Welcome to my kitchen! I’m Heather, a former bakery owner, bread expert, blogger, teacher, food photographer and event organizer. I live in Arizona with my large family and love making them delicious things to eat!

I began baking homemade bread more than 20 years ago! As a young mom, I wanted to feed my family good, healthy bread. I eventually began milling my own flour and fell in love with the process of bread making.

Eventually my hobby turned into a business and I started a home bakery, That Bread Lady. My bakery become hugely popular in my community and I am famous for my Homemade Crescent Dinner Rolls – making more than half a million in my 10-year career as a professional baker!

I have since hung up my apron as a bakery owner to follow another passion – teaching YOU how to make your own homemade bread! Afterall, there’s nothing like the aroma of homemade bread baking in your oven and tasting that first slice!

I’m a strong believer that knowledge is power! In my recipes and classes, you’ll find that my tips, videos and step-by-step pictures will help you become a successful bread maker and baker. Baking is so much fun when you have all the resources to get amazing results!

Since I began my recipe website, I have appeared in several cooking segments on Utah’s Studio 5 KSL. My recipes have been featured in Orson Gygi’s, At the Table Guide. I have taught several bread classes at Pinner’s Conference. I have organized and hosted 6, sold-out and amazing baking retreats. I have published more than 30 pre-recorded baking classes, teaching thousands to learn to make incredible homemade bread.

If you want to explore your passion for baking, improve your bread making skills, and enjoy your time in the kitchen, you’re in the right place! I’m so glad you’re here to bake along with me!
