This Plano Porch Bakery Draws Lines For Its Focaccia
On Southern Hills Drive in Plano, the scent gives it away first. Long before customers reach the front porch at 9717 Southern Hills Drive, the air carries the unmistakable aroma of olive oil hitting a hot oven and dough that has been fermenting for hours. By the time the door opens, neighbors are already gathered on the sidewalk. They’re here for focaccia. At The Neighbor’s Loaf, trays of sourdough focaccia often sell out within minutes — sometimes arriving on the porch still warm. What began as baking for family and neighbors has become one of Plano’s most talked-about weekend rituals. Built On Intention And Community The Neighbor’s Loaf was never built from a traditional blueprint. For founder Joanie McLaughlin, it begins with a desire to create connection and hospitality within her neighborhood. Sourdough — slow, living, patient and requiring care — becomes symbolic. What starts as sharing bread with a few neighbors grows organically through word-of-mouth and repeat customers. “The porch bakery wasn’t created from a business plan,” Joanie says. “It grew from a desire to create connection and hospitality within our community.” Photo: Rebecca Silvestri | Local Profile Launching required studying Texas cottage food laws, building production systems and
