Some 25+ years ago Gary and Colleen Worthington began their journey together to learn and perfect the art of baking artisan European breads. After many hours working in the kitchen they finally opened their first bakery in Orem, Utah during the fall of 1997. We know this successful bakery today as Kneaders. Kneaders has become a local favorite due to its high-quality food and home-like atmosphere.
Our recipes are tried and true, perfected over the years, and specifically hand-crafted for the home baker. We want you to experience Kneaders in your own home, so we’ve included some of our award-winning recipes, such as, Rosemary Focaccia Bread, Chunky Cinnamon French Toast, Flourless Chocolate Torte, Artichoke Portobello Soup, and Raspberry Bread Pudding. With over 180 delicious recipes, you'll find a wide array of our favorite sandwiches, soups, breads, cakes, pastries, pies, and much more from our bakery.
From our kitchen to yours, we are thrilled you are a part of our family.
