Fortissimo Baking, LLC

Graphic designer Tom Galligan operates Fortissimo as a Florida cottage foods home bakery, bringing visual art methods like staining techniques into his breadmaking. Loaves are mixed with preservative-free ingredients and produce harvested from a backyard garden, leavened by a sourdough starter affectionately named Rye-ly Cyrus (descended from parent culture Doughlly Parton). The bake schedule also branches beyond rustic loaves to include gluten-free cookies and handmade scones.
