People like pan loaves. And I get it. But I stopped making them because I don’t like cleaning all the pans involved.

But that has changed because I landed on this here beauty. And I enjoy eating it, which means I can deal with the extra dishes.

The spelt maple loaf. It’s a blend of Glenn & warthog wheat with 50% shop milled whole spelt. I use a dark maple syrup, which means the flavor comes through without it being sweet. And some olive oil for a bit of softness. 🫴🏻

I will have them at market Saturday. But also they were at market last Saturday and did not sell. I will blame it on the rain and not your lack of interest.

It was a rainy morning- but enough of y’all came out to make it worth the hustle. One market was better than the other. Not naming names 🧐

Cake flavor was cornflour sponge, blackberry syrup & pecan Swiss buttercream.

I am proud of myself for making 63 loaves with just one standard fridge. Meaning half of them had to be mixed and baked the same day. With the warmer weather it’s actually kinda nice because bulk fermentation moves along at a good pace.

See you at bardstown road next Saturday! 5/23

Pre orders are open for Wednesday as well. (Link in bio)

OH YEAH —-> after this week, it’s summer. Which means we will stop Wednesday pick ups and do the occasional Friday pre order pick up (on top of Markets).

Some double market prep snaps. Being down to one fridge got me really getting creative. Lots of ambient proofing going on! Come see us Saturday:

9-12
City sours, sesame sours, maple spelt, cinnie rolls, cookies, fresh flour, pancake mix, granola

9-12:30
Olive oil pan loaf, sesame sours, maple spelt rolls, thyme focaccia, cookies, cake slices, fresh flour, pancake mix

I am not in a good flow state today, you know how that is? Some days you just smash through it all with no problem, brain turned on and tuned in. It’s like a tight rope vs a spaghetti noodle. BUT we get through it some how any way ??

I came into this trip not having any where to stay on Sunday. This might be crazy when you’re traveling without a car etc… I was really relying on someone else’s kindness- but also, there are hotels.

My friend Sarah caught wind of these non plans and as a very different person than me, she -gasped. BUT proceeded to offer me her guest room , maybe not realizing that I would %1,000 take her up on it.

She made me pizza and we drank wine and talked about all the things. I got to be in her bakery space which is always so special to me. She took me on a hike and her local farmers market and we went to and met up with a few other OG cottage baker friends.

It was all really sweet. Thank you for being flexible with your day(s) and being a highlight of my trip 💛💛💛💛💛💛

A LOT happened on day 2 of .

But - meeting Andrew in person was peak. I was anticipating it since I found out he was gonna teach. Our initial encounter involved me running into him in a hallway and saying something sarcastic, of course… but off the bat, realizing quickly how chill & fun he is & we are now best friends basically.

I am cheap and did not rent a car. He was very generous & gave me rides anytime we had to be somewhere.

If you don’t know him yet…. please figure it out.

🙏🖤

part 1: picked me up and kindly kept me fed & sheltered for 24 hours before we headed to Petaluma the next day. She made the biggest loaf of bread I had ever seen and it made me wanna try too.

An oh s**t moment remembering that Mary Denham’s shop was in Petaluma and most definitely open (v limited hours) borrowed a car and went to meet her (lovely human), she gifted me with so much pastry. The butterscotch pie was peak.

Spent all of Friday at setting up, meeting quite a few long time internet buds as well as baking legends. Did not eat enough, felt ill at one point but who cares when you’re in a space with incredible people who share your passion.
