Whether your selection was powered by indecisiveness or by wanting it all, congratulations on choosing today’s magnificent wild yeast flight.

The dough has no fats or sugars added, a reasonable amount of sodium and is slowly fermented for better digestion. The flour was never bleached, bromated, or sprayed with acids or synthetic additives.

You get to have your health and keep it, too!

Good news: this is the case for ALL of Honest Breads sourdough 🙌

HarCo is my happy place, but the other day I saw a post by someone moving here from Arizona and started reminiscing.

Excuse the photo quality; they’re 14-15 years old and unedited!

🌄 My 3-year Arizona experience was happy and calm yet adventurous.

I walked the dog and babies in the “wash” every day — that’s the dry, arid, beautiful river bed.

🌵 After two or three flats, our stroller had to be especially cactus needle-proofed. 🤣

🐶 We also had to give the dog special rattle snake avoidance training. The process was fascinating.

🐍 Sometimes we could hear a rattler’s warning while walking in the wash but couldn’t tell where the sound was coming from. Scary but exciting!

🫣 We once had a black widow infestation in the back yard. There were so many of them! We didn’t want to use any chemicals, so my husband would go spider-hunting at night, when they sit at their messy traps.

My cat brought home a camel spider once. I had never seen such a nightmarish thing 🤯 Look them up. They’re awful 🫣

🦂 There would also be little scorpions scurrying into the space behind the bathroom mirrors sometimes. By the time you gathered the courage to lift the mirror, the critter was gone and you were always a little bit on edge wondering where it might be 😬

🤰🏼 As it turns out, I was stung by a scorpion while five months pregnant. How dare I put on the shoe that the little guy had chosen to hide in!?

I did panic at the time, I must admit. Lost my ability to speak and tried to tell my husband what had happened via charades. Today it’s comical; back then I was worried about the unborn baby.

Well, certain scorpions are more venomous, but the kind that got me was not even painful. My toe tingled a bit, then went numb for five hours, which was exactly what the poison line guy said to expect.

😆 That baby happens to be a Scorpio. 🦂
We now have a pet scorpion, too 😌

Having been stung by bees and yellow jackets, I’ll take a scorpion any day instead!!!!

One of my favorite memories: I saw a road runner crossing in front of my car and a coyote in my rear-view mirror at the same time. 🤣

🌡️ I never complained about the heat there because we had moved from Bahrain, where in the summer the temps would hit 120F in the summer. 🥵

🥖 Arizona is where my more serious baking journey began. I adored the place but couldn’t find good bread to save my life, so I learned to make it myself.

Life is what you bake it!

I have it on good authority that:

🍪 Dads love cookies.

Don’t ask me why, but the Honest men have an undeniable predilection for my Beurre noisette (browned butter), chocolate chip sourdough treats.
Is it the sweetness, the crispness, the unbelievable flavor of the top-quality ingredients…?

Whatever it is, these cookies stay fresh for days and days, so pick up dad’s box on Thursday for Sunday’s celebration!

🎁 Teachers love gift cards.

This week, Honest Breads gift cards are available for pickup every day. Many of Honest Breads supporters are indeed teachers; a gift card to their favorite baker will make their day!!!

🇮🇹 EVERYONE loves Ligurian focaccia.

If you haven’t tried it yet, place your preorder before it runs out 🏃🏻‍♀️

🫢 Did you know!? The eggs used at Honest Breads are SO FRESH that sometimes I have to wait until the hens have laid enough!!! 😍😍😍

👏 They always come through though: locally raised, nicely washed, perfectly packed, and so large that I tend to need one less egg for every 10 in my recipes! 🏆

🥹 The shell colors are just gorgeous, but not quite as amazing as the thick, orange yolks. Have you noticed my bakes having more of a glow? More el-egg-ance? This is why!

Thank you Native Meadows Farm for these pasture raised, organic fed chicken’s eggs that taste just glorious.

Eat well.
Feed better.
Strive for eggcelence. 😉

🤔 Something is missing here.

🤤 Something that would make this the most scrumptious, most satisfying breakfast. The kind that raises eyebrows as you close your eyes and moan a little…

🇮🇹 A Mediterranean treat that couldn’t be farther from a sweet pastry and yet goes shockingly well with latte or capuccino.
I have even tried it with black coffee and it works too! ☕️

Who can tell me what’s missing in this picture? 😋

🧘🏻Sometimes, baking is zen. It’s calm, peaceful, tranquil.

😆 Sometimes, it’s chaotic. A scramble. A mad rush.

😅 Social media can be the same way for creators!

👏 One week, you are rewarded with lots of exposure. The more people see you, the more they interact with your page, which in turn gives you even more algorithm brownie points.

😳 Some other weeks, no matter how high you keep the quality of your content or how consistent the frequency, Facebook and Instagram refuse to put you on the stage.

🙏 If you see this: click on it, share it, comment below. It will cost you nothing but a second or two and may make all the difference in how many people get to learn about

☕️ This video shows the topping that went onto the coffee buns last week, which according to at least one loyal supporter, was “PERFECT”.

😍 I LOVE Malay coffee buns! They remind me of my honeymoon in Malaysia 14 years ago 🥰

🧈 Instead of leaving a hole in the center of the bun from a melted butter cube though, I integrate all the butter into the dough. YUM.

🤗 I also place them in paper cups to hold more of the delicious topping. An Honest Breads supporter showed me this trick from coffee buns that she came across in another state.

Have you ever seen Malay Coffee Buns outside of Honest Breads? They’re an unusual find but once you try them, there’s no going back!

👀 What has been your favorite recent bake? Your favorite ever? What are you looking forward to this week or over the summer?

This is week you will find:

🌟 Crisp-tender Cherry Almond Scones; 😋 😋 😋

🌟 Sourdough in four flavors including the madly popular Spaniard, Pretzel Dipped and Mocha plus my favorite: the Classic Original sourdough loaf;

🌟 Mouthwatering Chocolate Chip Cookies 🍪

🌟 And best of all: LIGURIAN FOCACCIA 🥳

See link in comments to secure your preorder while there is availability 🥳
