We’re obsessed with this little beauty.

Our Cocoa Rye Gateau de Voyage boldly inhabits the space between sweet and savory, with deep chocolatey flavor from the Dutch-processed cocoa and a rich, nutty complexity from the whole grain rye.

A favorite travel cake from the famous Poilâne bakery in France, it’s sure to win a place in your heart as well!

Thanks, Tacoma, for a fantastic first market!!!

We underestimated demand and sold out far too soon this morning. Look for us next week at the Tacoma Proctor Farmers' Market with significantly more inventory and an equally delicious array of specialty sourdough loaves! ❤️

A customer sent this pic of our charcoal/citrus/toasted-almond/quinoa along with an emoji that suggested satisfaction and/or approval. Compared with a standard sourdough loaf (the placebo) this bread increased quality of life by more than the quantity of life sacrificed to make it. Well behaved children might be thrilled to get this ‘lump of coal’ in their stocking. Time will tell.

Sourdough focaccia, 3 day cold ferment with low-gluten flour + 10% whole wheat. 100% hydration. Cherry-Tom hemispheres, yellow onion. The outcome will fill you with confidence and olive oil. Eat this before a big job interview, it’s the answer to your biggest strengths and weaknesses. Don’t set your résumé directly on it though, unless you loaded the printer with parchment paper. These days a lot of employers ask focaccia-related questions...’how fast can you type with olive oil on your fingers?’ Especially if the job title is ‘Focaccia Adminstrator III’.

Check the cupboard. If there’s some roasted tomatoes, Irish butter, micro basil, and a slice of activated charcoal sourdough, throw it in the oven for a couple minutes and enjoy.
