Bun venit · Welcome to Casa Maria
Romanian bread,baked at home in Humble, Texas.Pâine bună · good bread, made with patience
I’m Maria. I bake the way my bunica did in our village outside Brașov — slow sourdough that ferments overnight, sandwich loaves the kids grew up on, jalapeño cheddar with a real kick, cinnamon swirl for Sunday breakfast, and biscotti and dulce de leche to put out next to the coffee. A new menu goes up every other Saturday, and pickup is from my kitchen here in Humble, just north of Houston.
The next bake day will be announced soon — check back this week.

Bucătăria mea · My kitchen
A bread for every masă.
— for every table.
Sandwich loaves to get through the week. Cinnamon bread for Saturday morning. Jalapeño cheddar when you want something with a little kick, and biscotti and dulce de leche to keep next to the coffee pot. Every loaf comes out of the same small oven in my Humble kitchen, made by the same hands that shaped bread for my family for thirty years — first in Brașov, now here in Texas.

Patience
An overnight ferment isn't a feature — it's the recipe. The bread asks for time, and I give it.
Mâini
Hands
No mixers, no machines. Every loaf is hand-shaped on a flour-dusted counter, the way bunica taught me back home.
Acasă
Home
One small kitchen in Humble, Texas. One cast-iron oven. Just me, baking small batches for neighbors around Houston.
