Our Story
The Story of Mama Rozi's BakehouseRooted in tradition. Made by hand.
My grandmother, Mama Rozi, opened her home to anyone who needed it. There was always something sweet on the table... and always room for one more.
"Rozi" comes from Rozalia, a name passed down through generations of women in my family.
Mama Rozi's carries forward a tradition of warmth, family, and welcome, a home bakehouse where everything is crafted by hand in small batches.
Each loaf, each twist of babka, each pastry reflects a simple idea: that food made with time, care, and intention becomes a way to gather, to share, and to care for others.
The Heritage
Born in Eastern Europe. Raised Locally.
Our recipes draw from the bakeries and home kitchens of Hungary, Romania, Poland, Ukraine, and the wider European table, where sweetness leans on honey, walnuts, poppy seed, and stone fruit rather than icing and decoration.
Our family's roots run deep in Transylvania, where Mama Rozi learned to bake at her own mother's elbow in a small village kitchen. Mornings began with the smell of yeast and woodsmoke, and Sundays meant a table crowded with cousins, neighbors, and whoever else happened by. The recipes we bake today travelled with our family across an ocean, tucked into memory, kept alive at holidays, and now shaped by hand here in Kentucky, the same way they always have been.
Where we bake
LaGrange is a small Kentucky town with the kind of quiet that suits early mornings, long ferments, and bread you can smell two blocks away. It's where we set our ovens and where the bakehouse comes to life before sunrise.
Mama Rozi's is a true home bakery. Every loaf, babka, and madeleine is made in our own kitchen, the same one where we feed our family, using the recipes, rhythms, and patience passed down from generations before us.
"Simple ingredients, time-honored recipes, and food meant to be shared."
