From Eric’s Sourdough:
Eric Stein operates Eric’s Sourdough, a licensed cottage bakery in South Orange. He crafts a variety of sourdough breads, including baguettes and bagels. Offering a rotating menu of flavors, there is a bread for every taste.
Using primarily organic flour, much of it freshly milled on site, breads are crafted using traditional bread making techniques. The breads feature a high percentage of whole grains as well. All breads are fermented overnight, which improves taste and appearance. Sourdough bread has a long shelf life and has many health benefits, including improved digestibility.
Prior to moving to South Orange in 2025, he baked out of his home in Millburn for 4 years. Thanks to the South Orange Village Council, which passed an ordinance in May permitting local residents to sell certain homemade foods, Eric is again able to sell his breads to the community and neighboring towns.
Eric has worked in the hospitality industry for over 25 years. While he loved being a Chef, bread has always been his favorite food. He’s very happy baking in SOMA, where great food is often the topic of conversation.
