Chris MacLeod
Chris MacLeod began Laune Bread in 2015 as a bike delivered subscription micro-bakery. He realized that working solo was not for him, closed shop in 2017, and moved to Switzerland. Returning to Minnesota in 2019, Chris turned the oven back on with the addition of Tiff Singh.
Raised in northern California, Chris discovered bread while living abroad as a student in Munich. Not anticipating a career in baking, Chris studied Rhetoric and German at Lewis & Clark College, in Portland, OR. Only as a form of procrastination did his baking grow.
As befits an accidental baker, Chris’s technique and values are rooted in his travels and mentors, found in idyllic Pt. Reyes Station, CA, Portland, OR, Minneapolis, MN, Utrecht, Munich, rural Germany, and Basel + Bern, Switzerland.
