Kuluntu Bakery | Building community through baking & breaking bread

The meaning of “kuluntu” is “community” in isiXhosa, a South African language of the amaXhosa people.

The mission of Kuluntu Bakery is to build community through baking & breaking bread in Dallas.

We are a cottage bakery located in Oak Cliff near Bishop Arts District.

All events, workshops, and order pickups will take place at our home. Preorder required.

Upcoming Events

We plan to resume in-person community classes and Ubuntu Supper Club in the fall. Please join our mailing list for updates.

Big thank you to all who order this week💛 Just a reminder that we will not be baking next week as I’ll be out of town.

Last summer, many of y’all attended a four part

Last summer, many of y’all attended a four part anti-racism lecture series facilitated by my partner Warren. Alongside his colleague in South Africa, Dr. Gcobani Qambela, they have written a workbook focused on anti-racist teaching practices and learning strategies. I’d like to invite y’all to their virtual book launch and discussion taking place tomorrow. There will be two sessions: one at 7 am CST and one at 7 pm CST. You can register for this free event via the link in my bio.

If you are interested in purchasing the workbook, you can do so on Warren’s website (warrenchalklen.com). This is a great resource for both educators and parents. Half of all proceeds from the book will go to organizations advancing equitable education in South Africa. Hope to “see” you there!

Monday, Monday! We’ve still got some Chelsea Buns, country sours, and walnut & date sours available for preorder with pickup on Thursday evening. Preorders close tonight at 10 pm!

We won’t have a pickup next week, so you may want to stock up to get through the next few weeks. A week without good bread is a sad week, at least in the Leichtle-Chalklen household. Everything freezes wonderfully🙃
