Sisters of St. Benedict Simply Divine: A Monastery Bakery Indiana Food Artisan

A documentary profile of the Sisters of St. Benedict and their Simply Divine bakery, where century-old cookie recipes rooted in Benedictine tradition help sustain their monastery, produced for the Indiana Artisans program.

PumaPro captured the warmth and craftsmanship behind three distinct cookie varieties — the Springerle, the Almerle, and the Hildegard — each steeped in history and hand-baked by the sisters. The piece weaves together the story of faith, community, and artisan food-making, showing how sharing a cookie becomes a way of sharing a way of life.
