Lone Star Bread Co.

Irena brings the kind of thing people line up for on Saturday mornings. Invited (and mentored) by longtime market potter John Delafield of Delafield Pottery, she shares a corner of his booth and offers her monthly fixins right there alongside the stoneware.

She bakes naturally fermented sourdough from her cottage-home bakery in the Houston/Katy area. Starter made from scratch, simple ingredients (flour, water, salt), no commercial yeast, no seed oils, no preservatives. Her sourdough cinnamon rolls have quickly become a market favorite—soft, warmly spiced, and usually gone before the day is half over.

Advance orders are an option but not required. Find her monthly drops, porch pickups in Katy, and more at hotplate.com/lonestarbreadco and on Instagram @lonestarbreadco.

Not fine art—just something people love. We’re glad she said yes.
