π₯ OKAY, I NEED TO KNOWβ¦ WHATβS YOUR FAVOURITE?! π
If youβve bought something from my stand this year, tell me your absolute favourite product in the comments! π
Because our LAST outdoor farmers market of the season is coming up and Iβm trying to decide what deserves a VIP spot on the table. π
Is it the classic sourdough? A loaded flavour loaf? Cinnamon rolls? Carrot cake cookies? Danishes? Pretzels? Focaccia? Cookies? One of the ridiculous things I put cream cheese into? π
TELL. ME. WHAT YOU WANT.
Iβm listening. ππ€£
And while I have you here, letβs talk about something I get asked about ALL the timeβ¦
βWhy does your sourdough look so much bigger than mine?β πππ€ππ€£
No, Iβm not secretly pumping my bread full of steroids. π
One of the biggest differences is that I bake using an artisan bread deck oven with proper steam
Dutch ovens, loaf pans and even baking directly on a steel at home can absolutely make gorgeous sourdough. β€οΈ But getting enough steam into a home oven can be tricky and steam is a BIG deal during those first few minutes of baking.
That beautiful burst of steam keeps the crust flexible while the dough expands, allowing a properly fermented loaf to really POP OFF in the oven.
And when you combine good fermentation + proper steam + a whole lot of love (and probably an unreasonable amount of flour π), you get those big, tall, fluffy artisan loaves.
In fact, compared with a restricted loaf pan, a properly fermented loaf baked with adequate steam can expand to around twice the size of the original dough shape.
Which basically meansβ¦
MORE BREAD. π
MORE SANDWICHES. π₯ͺ
MORE BUTTER OPPORTUNITIES. π§
MORE BANG FOR YOUR BREAD BUCK. π
And honestly, I LOVE that I get to make the kind of sourdough that some people have never actually had the chance to try before.
So if youβre sitting there on this fine Saturday thinking, βDamn it, now I want fresh breadβ¦β π
Iβve got you.
You can place a pre-order through my website for this weekβs bakes, or just send me a message right here on the page!
