More than twenty-five years ago, Colleen Worthington rolled up her sleeves and built a baking empire out of her own kitchen, which provided a place for her children and now grandchildren to learn hard work, dedication, and creativity. Together with her husband, Gary, the Worthington pursued their interest in scratch-made artisan breads by training at both the American Institute of Baking and San Francisco Baking Institute. They worked closely with Lehi Mills to develop an exclusive flour mixture and located an ideal, traditional Italian hearth-stone oven. Their first bakery opened in Orem, Utah, in 1997, where they served European hearth breads. Within a few months, they expanded to offer a variety of sandwiches, soups, and salads. In their first quarter-century, they have expanded to forty-nine stores in six western states. In Kneaders Bakery & Cafe: A Celebration of Our Recipes and Memories, Colleen celebrates the many people who’ve shared in the success of the business, offering moving and inspiring memories along with favorite recipes. In addition to over a dozen recipes for bread, including Rosemary Focaccia Bread, Sesame Semolina, Chocolate Hearth, and Utah Mountain Style Cornbread, there are recipes for mouthwatering cakes, cookies, pies, and puddings, sandwiches, soups, salads, and breakfast.
