New Breads and today's market

New breads - red chili bread and a wild rice sour dough. The recipe for the Wild Rice Sour Dough was put on Fresh Loaf this week. It was the bread served to Gorbachev and Reagan during the Detente talks. Sold three loaves and gave out many samples of the bread. People really liked it. It will be a apart of the regular mix. Also sold four loaves of cheese bread with jalapenos. Sold two dozen sour dough pretzels and about three dozen sweet rolls. In total sold 32 loaves of 8 different breads. Left early, I had nothing left to sell.

Tomorrow I will be baking more pretzels, sweet rolls, San Francisco, Pain au Levain and olive bread.

Saturday I'll have one loaf of golden raisin and cheese bread for sale.  I'll also have a sample of the cheese bread to taste.

See you Saturday at Market - 8 - 10 AM.

Nine Hours

It's been a long time since I sleep 9 hours.  Didn't think I was quite that tired, but the body knows.

Today I will be making the doughs for Thursday and Friday's bread bake.  Baking is fun.  Discovering the world of bread is an endless adventure.  Just in sour dough, there are so many types to try and I have just scratched the surface.

Bread, to some the staff of life
Is  a living thing at first without any strife
But just when the yeast is most happy
It gets to hot in the oven real snappy
Sacrificing themselves ,their hard work finished
Allows us to enjoy their work undiminished
Thick crust, soft inside, a smell and taste divine
goes good with olives and a jug of fine wine.

Have a great day.  See you Saturday or you can poke your head into the kitchen Thursday or Friday.

Tuesday's Market

Had a very good market. Sold out, kept 4 bagels for us to have.  Sold over 30 loaves of bread and more than 2 dozen bagels.  Bagels will be a regular part of Tuesday's market with sweet rolls on Saturday.  Bread types will also be divided between Tuesday and Saturday.

This Thursday I will have help in the kitchen and this will allow me to work on other breads,  Sour Dough Cheese bread with jalapenos and the raisin bread are in the queue.  Time permitting we will also be making soft pretzels.


See you Saturday

Grand Opening Farmers Market This Tuesday

Tuesday we will have several loaves of roasted garlic sourdough along with the German farm rye which is more than 60% rye to go along with the usual suspects.  Haven't decided if bagels will be in the mix.  Sweet Rolls will probably be found only on Saturday.  I have made to attempts at Raisin sourdough, it is still in the mix.  I also want to try sour dough soft pretzels.  Those may have to wait until Saturday.  It's just me in the kitchen right now.

If you want anything in particular, let me know by tomorrow afternoon.

See you Tuesday.
