Since it's Halloween, here are a few things that scare me more than Halloween as a cottage baker...

1. Killing my sourdough starter.

2. Forgetting whether I actually added the salt.

3. Thinking I have plenty of time to leave dough overnight... then waking up to over-proofed sourdough.

4. Burning the crust—especially on my sweet loaves.

5. Oven temperature fluctuations that make loaves brown too quickly... or not enough.

6. Falling behind and having to delay opening the stand because I'm rushing to get fresh bread finished.

7. And lastly, if I'm being honest... losing the amazing customers who have supported me throughout this journey.

I know so many of you have stuck by me, and I truly appreciate every single one of you. But it still worries me when I don't have what you're looking for or when something isn't out at the stand as early as I hoped. Sometimes I wonder if your disappointment will mean you won't come back.

So thank you for your patience, your kindness, and for supporting this little dream of mine. It truly means more than you'll ever know.

Your cottage baker Loaves of Flavor
Have fun and be safe tonight.

Edit: Bread is BAKING!!!

Bread update today, loaves are on their 2nd rise before baking. I am hoping to open at 3:00.
Next update soon.

Good morning my sourdough lovers,
The cottage stand will be open later than usual today. I am still waiting on dough to rise before baking.

I am trying something new and making hybrid sourdough loaves. What are hybrid loaves?... Hybrid loaves are made with sourdough starter and a tiny bit of commercial yeast.

The loaves I am making today are made with my potato flake starter and yeast to hopefully get bread out at the stand a little sooner. I don't typically do this. I have been slightly burnt out this week and totally spaced on mixing dough last night. So hybrid loaves it is!

I will have a bread update in an hour or so. Stay tuned...

Thank you 🍞

Thank you everyone who stopped by the cottage stand today. All loaves are gone and a good majority of the cookies. I have 3 boxes left if anyone would like to come down before close.

Yesterday I hung up lights in the bread shed. I am happy they are finally hung and lit up tonight; Looking lovely.

When you stop at the stand, there shall be no more wondering what's inside my cookie boxes. I found better packaging that really shows off those tasty treats.

Speaking of, If you enjoy Ferrero Rocher fine Hazelnut chocolates you are in for a treat! These cookies are filled with chocolate chips and hazelnut chocolate pieces. Topped with a sliced chocolate round after baking for more of that chocolate hazelnut delicious-ness. These cookies will be out at the stand today along with my classic OG chocolate chip.

Also at the stand are 16oz jars of Jam & Jelly. Available in Blueberry, Tart cherry, Cherry vanilla. All half price. Normally $16.

All loaves are $4 today. Please read menu board for bread details.

Thank you all,
Loaves of Flavor 2439
