Wild Yeast Breads

05/09/2023

Dear friends and customers, May 12 will be the last regular delivery day for Wild Yeast Breads! I’ve loved baking and the connections I’ve made with everyone who enjoys my bread, but it’s also taken up a big part of my life. The schedule can feel relentless and the work has become too routine. I’d hoped that my website would enable me to combine the creative side of baking with sustaining a business, but haven’t been able to find that balance. So, I’m going to close up shop. Without the pressure to produce bread in volume, I hope to experiment with recipes, bake for the occasional event and begin a new chapter: bread baking classes!
As always, I appreciate all your support and kindness.

Only empty bread bags this week, sorry —I’m taking the week off to visit with family. See you next Wednesday, August 10!

It’s my husband’s birthday, so I only made a small batch of bread today (July 22). Grab yours at Delmonicos Heritage Meats and the Eastside Olympia Food Coop. Sorry, but no deliveries to the Westside Coop today. Have a great weekend!

On store shelves today is the new Wild Yeast Honey Oat Sourdough sandwich loaf! Made from organic grains and wild yeast, it’s flavorful, long lasting and easy to slice. Look for it at Delmonico’s and both Olympia Food Coops.

I'm so excited to be working with Jami at Olympia's historic Sherwood Press on new baguette labels and other materials for WYB!

We're now delivering to the Olympia Food Coops earlier. Wednesdays and Fridays it’s between 1 and 2 pm. On Thursdays it’s between Noon and 1 pm. If you want to make sure you get a loaf, please order online at wildyeastbreads.com for pickup at Delmonico's. Because of the volume of calls the Coops have been getting, please do not call them to try to reserve bread. Thanks!

Bialys are back! Well, our riff on a bialy anyway. We start with wild yeast bagel dough, flatten into mini pizzas, slather those with grilled onions, poppyseeds and caraway seeds, and top everything with Swiss cheese and Parmigiano. Available Wednesday thru Friday after 1 pm only at Delmonico’s.
