Monke Bread Bakery

SHE LIVES. 😂🍞

After all the starter drama, I finally baked my first test loaf with my new girl and she did not disappoint 🙌

She rose. She baked. She got a beautiful crust. She did the damn thing.

And then there was the part where we ate more than half of this loaf standing over the oven in the dark, lit only by the little light underneath the microwave, absolutely feral, with our hands and a stick of butter. 😂😂

So I think we can officially say my new starter is alive, thriving, and ready to get back to work.

We'll see you at the Farmers Markets ☺️

🫠🍞Well, friends… I have a confession to make.

I killed my sourdough starter. 😭

Not intentionally, obviously. I simply left the poor thing sitting on the counter a little too long, and eventually she became unwell... 😂

Which means I’m taking a tiny little bakery breather while my new starter gets its life together.

But I’ll be back — hopefully September 1st — and I’m coming back with ALL the fall things. 🍂🎃

Cozy fall flavors. Pumpkin cookies. Pumpkin spice. Possibly enough pumpkin to make your ancestors concerned.

So if you’ve been craving Monke Bread, hang tight. The starter is in time-out, I am accepting responsibility for my crimes, and we’ll be back to baking soon. 😂❤️

Thank you for sticking with me!

See you in September. 🍂

Just over here making homemade flour tortillas today because apparently I can’t leave well enough alone 😂🌯

These are for enchiladas tonight, and y’all… I’m thinking I may have just opened a whole new can of worms. 👀

Soft, fresh, homemade tortillas > store-bought. Every. Time. 🤤

Unfortunately, I won't be at the market today. 💔

I had an appointment out of town yesterday afternoon, and when it was over, my car wouldn't start. I ended up having to leave it in Kirksville and make other arrangements to get home, so unfortunately I won't be able to make it to the market today.

The good news is I have cookie dough that needs to be baked! 🍪 Once I get settled at home, I'll be baking them fresh and posting the flavors available. If you'd like to grab some, keep an eye on the page for updates!

Thank you all so much for your understanding, patience, and support. It truly means the world to my little bakery. ❤️

Just a little bakery update 📢

We won't be at the market this week...

Between keeping up with my kids, my bartending schedule, and running the bakery, I've realized I need to hit pause for one week so I can build up my stock of sourdough discard. Right now I'm spending all my time trying to keep up instead of getting ahead. I hit the ground running with the choice to do this market and most weeks I have been struggling to get enough discard to make all the cookies I want to make AND have the active starter for breads and other goodies.

Taking this week to prep means I'll be able to come back with a better selection and be more consistent at future markets.

Thank you all for your patience, your support, and for understanding that sometimes the best way to keep a small business going is to take a step back so it can keep growing.

I'll see you all next week! 🍪❤️
