Earlier today, I delivered to Johnson's Department Store and Southern Sweets Bakery in Etowah and White Street Market in Athens. It was my usual fare.........fresh, organic, homemade sourdough artisan and sandwich loaves, freshly milled Ezekiel loaves, along with cinnamon-raisin and cinnamon swirl (the one with the double swirl)!! I hope you will drop in to one of these fine establishments to pick up a loaf and do a bit of shopping.
For the past several months, I have been trying to create an artisan sourdough loaf using only freshly milled flour. Let me just tell you that it is not for the faint of heart, although my chickens and Chester the dog have been quite happy about my failures. But, just like The Little Engine that Could, I made it over the mountain this weekend. This pretty boy (pictured above [or maybe below, who knows]) is an Artisan Sourdough Ezekiel loaf. The next step is to make sure it is repeatable, then I will be adding it along with an Ancient Grain version to my menu for you to order.
Success feel good, you know!!!
