Daily Bread Sourdough Bakery announces first-ever evening open in Madison

Daily Bread Sourdough Bakery stepped into Madison’s evening routine with its first-ever evening open, a 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. stop tied to the debut Madison Village Outdoor Market at 50 W. Main St. The move gave after-work shoppers a new chance to pick up a loaf or pastry after the bakery’s usual 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. hours, turning bread buying into part of the market stroll instead of a morning errand.

The bakery said customers could stop in for a fresh pastry or loaf while walking around the market and listening to live music, and preorders were open until Wednesday night at 8 p.m. The listing also teased a new menu item for the week, the kind of small update that keeps regulars checking in when a bakery has built its following loaf by loaf.

That shift fits a business that has grown around community sales rather than a fixed retail rhythm. Ohio Secretary of State records show Daily Bread Sourdough Bakery was filed on April 30, 2025, and remains active. A separate event listing shows the bakery held its grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony on Nov. 22, 2025, at the same Main Street address. Seven months later, the bakery was testing a different kind of crowd, one that came with the market instead of the morning commute.

The bakery’s own story gives the evening debut some added texture. Its website says the sourdough journey began in 2021, after the owner spent eight years gluten-free because of gluten intolerance and later found sourdough easier to digest. That practical streak carries into the bread itself: the bakery says it does not slice loaves, recommends waiting at least two hours before cutting, and says 24 hours makes for the cleanest slices. For older or frozen loaves, it suggests a quick rinse under water followed by 8 to 10 minutes in a 400-degree oven.

In Madison, the first evening open made Daily Bread feel less like a stop reserved for early risers and more like part of the town’s market rhythm. With music, preorders, and a new evening window, the bakery’s next chapter looked built for the after-work crowd as much as for the bread faithful.
