Good Morning!! Happy Bake Day! Happy Juneteenth, a recognition that I find so important. If we don’t acknowledge our history and celebrate the victories, we will repeat it.

While the loaves are still sitting in the fridge, Dillon (Mr. Grunt) suggested a little game: What will sell out first??? Every week we joke that it’s a dart board, we do our best based on past markets and demand to figure out how much to bake… and then there’s weeks like this where I’m like, eh let’s just do one more loaf, one more experiment, and before I know it Mr. Grunt is building more shelves for my fridge 🤷‍♀️

So here’s the game: Guess which flavor is going to sell out first. I’d also love to hear your favorite as well! Guess what will sell out first before it does and get $1 off your next purchase!! Be the first to post with the sell out loaf and get $2 off!!

I will message you with the confirmation, but you’ll have to remind me when you purchase ❤️

As a hint, this is what was left at 11:30 last week, but honestly the garlic typically goes pretty fast too.

Meet Stormy… the rescue pup who survived being dumped, parvo, and so many odds to become the a precious and spunky part of our family. Stormy is a 4 yo half pit half husky (Pitsky), 100% full on active playful cuddly pup. She built our hearts back together after a devastating loss. Now she’s going to have to overcome again, as she has suffered a complete ccl tear. We’re waiting to meet with a surgeon, but in the meantime, I thought I’d introduce you all to the new face of our business… she’s going to need a lot of bread to fix this one 😆🙏

WHAT!?! We hit 600 followers 😱 I don’t really keep up with this, and have never really pushed numbers other then when we were just getting started, but when I was redoing something the other day I noticed how close we were… Just amazing to see where God has brought this hobby. I’m so thankful for each of you in being a part of this journey, whether you bought one loaf or are a weekly subscription, you have built it one bite at a time. So huge thank you from our family 🥰

Here is the Croissant Loaf!! Not quite an actual croissant, but if you’d like soft sourdough goodness with your butter already in it where it melts in your mouth… then I’ve got you 😆 I might have finished one of these small loaves in a very short amount of time last time I made them… so don’t feel too bad if it disappears before dinner. I mean who needs dinner anyways 🤷‍♀️

Apparently walking into this is “not fair”… we wish we had smell-o-vision for all of you 🤤 Bake Day got off to a beautiful and scrumptious start today!! Also… apparently I am now making pretzels… maybe.. if I actually remember what I’m up to in the middle of pulling things out of the oven 😆

See you TOMORROW at the Bradley County Farmers Market!! 7am-12pm… Please… there’s lots of bread ❤️

It’s MIXING day!! Did you know that sourdough takes days… and days… that’s what gets you that yummy sour taste… the sllllow process. I often have people say how they just don’t have the patience, and honestly that’s why I like doing so much of it at once. Making 2-3 loaves can be tedious, so why not make 50!

A a part of my deepening my flavors has been going away from the traditional inclusions where I folded them in at the end, and now flavoring all my dough while it’s in the fermentation stage. It helps give you that flavor in every bite. It means a lot more work up front, however it’s been great not rushing those inclusions at the end… usually at 12AM 🤦‍♀️ plus for flavor, plus for work life balance, at least that’s what I’ll keep telling myself at hour 8….

And now it’s time for another set of stretching and folding…. Iykyk☺️

Quiz Bonus: what 3 flavors are there???

🙌🏼 Bring on the sourdough!! Can’t wait to serve you again this Saturday!
