Dinner last night made extra special with a bottle of superb Sangiovese🍷 from Castelli & Pizarro Wine bar, local spot off Carmel Valley Rd. Definitely worth checking out Castelli & Pizarro Coffee shop - Wine bar | San Diego I'll also be doing my next Breads & Spreads event there (info link in bio)

Tuesday Menu Update

These delightfully healthy versions of the classic cinnamon roll are made with a premium homemade puree of Medjool Dates & Black Beauty raisins mixed with vanilla rum and spices! This way it's packed with flavor, added nutrition and naturally sweet, versus the common white sugar & cheap butter filling.

They are made using my sourdough starter (easier to digest) and baked in a JUMBO muffin tin with a tulip liner so they look pretty and are easier to eat without your fingers getting too messy. Enjoy!

Ingredients: Organic artisan flour & freshly milled Organic Wheat non gmo, Filtered Water, Organic Milk, Kerry Gold Butter, Organic Eggs, Organic Cane Sugar, Dates & Raisins, House-made Vanilla Rum, Cinnamon & Unrefined Sea Salt

Featured Bread of the Week

Hi Friends,

This week’s featured bread (requested by Rob) is one that fills the kitchen with one of our favorite aromas — Cinnamon Rum Raisin Sweet Sourdough!

Golden and Black Beauty raisins are gently soaked in a house-made vanilla rum along with walnuts and freshly ground cinnamon sticks. The raisins absorb the warmth of the rum and spice, creating little pockets of sweetness throughout the loaf.

These are then folded into the dough made with my in-house blend of high-quality non-GMO bread flour and freshly milled organic wheat. The dough is long fermented with our signature house cultured sourdough starter and finished with unrefined sea salt to help nourish and remineralize the body.

The result is a comforting loaf with layers of flavor — warm cinnamon spice, naturally sweet raisins, a touch of toasted walnut, and the deep character that comes from slow sourdough fermentation.

Serving ideas:
Wonderful toasted with butter, paired with coffee or tea in the morning, or served warm with a drizzle of honey. It also makes an excellent batch of French toast.

With gratitude,
Noris

Featured Bread of the Week

Hi Friends,

One of the things I enjoy most about baking is discovering how traditional crafts can come together to create something truly special.

This week's featured bread began with brewing a Sweet Irish Stout—not for the beer itself, but to capture the remarkable character of carefully selected malted grains.

Just as coffee roasting transforms the flavor of coffee beans, the gentle roasting of specialty malts develops rich notes of toasted bread, cocoa, caramel, and subtle sweetness. Those flavors are first brewed into the stout, then combined with freshly milled Organic wheat and my Signature House Cultured Sourdough Starter during a long, slow fermentation.

The result is a beautifully rich sourdough with a deep amber-brown crumb, speckled throughout with house-malted grains that provide both wonderful texture and layers of flavor in every slice.

Whether enjoyed alongside a hearty salad, toasted with butter, or served with your favorite cheese, this loaf celebrates the timeless partnership between the brewer's kettle and the baker's oven.

✨ Thank you for supporting our Craft Food Community. Your support allows me to continue baking with care and integrity, crafting food for greater health and true joy, bringing us all together around the table.

Featured Bread of the Week

Hi Friends,

One of my favorite parts of baking is getting to know the people I bake for.

Recently, Michelle shared that her children were hoping for a sweet bread. I thought that sounded like the perfect opportunity to create something a little extra special for them using one of my favorite fruits: Guavas- that my neighbor shared with me!

The guavas are harvested at their peak of ripeness—usually just before the birds decide they're ready! They are gently steamed with freshly ground cinnamon and a touch of cardamom, allowing the natural sugars to slowly caramelize while filling the kitchen with wonderful aromas.

Once softened, the fruit is passed through a traditional hand-cranked food mill to separate the seeds and skins, creating a silky, pudding-like guava puree. The following day, that puree is hand mixed into the dough, infusing every crumb with tropical flavor, while generous pieces of guava are folded throughout to create delightful pockets of fruit in every slice.

The result is a naturally fragrant sourdough with gentle sweetness, warm spice, and the bright character of fresh summer guavas—a loaf that feels both comforting and a little adventurous.

Whether enjoyed warm with butter, toasted for breakfast, or shared with family over an afternoon cup of tea or coffee, this bread celebrates the simple pleasure of thoughtfully crafted food.

Featured Bread of the Week

Hi Friends,

I had a request by Ed who reached out because he didn't want to settle for store-bought whole wheat bread. He wrote:

"You got a superior product, my friend. I've tried different store-bought breads, and nothing comes close."

Comments like these are incredibly encouraging. Knowing that the extra time, care, and investment that go into what I do is appreciated makes it all worthwhile. Thank you, Ed—and thank you to each of you for choosing me to be part of your table!

I'd also like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us for our Breads & Spreads tasting event this past Sunday. It was a wonderful afternoon of sharing artisan breads, cultured spreads, great conversation, and craft wines.

If you weren't able to attend, here's a peek at some of the photos from the event on my Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/SourdoughDelight/posts/pfbid02tmfRHja5M54uWp4vkFpXr8zD3DM3S9FQVuY8rsCDHti27Sc9fex9svc2D12cLCbwl) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/p/DbBnzKhD1Tk/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) pages, looking forward for you to join us at the next gathering!

About This Week's Featured Bread: Sprouted Rye Sourdough

A hearty old world-style sourdough crafted with freshly milled wheat, in-house sprouted rye, and a long, slow fermentation.

Organic Kosher-grade rye berries are sprouted in-house and carefully timed so they're ready to use on baking day, capturing the grain at its peak of freshness. This traditional process is valued for developing deeper flavor, improved digestibility, and a softer grain profile.

The sprouted rye is blended with freshly milled Organic Kosher-grade red wheat and premium Red Rose Artisan Bread Flour, then slowly fermented with my Signature House Cultured Sourdough Starter to develop a moist, springy crumb and rich earthy character.

One of my favorite details is the contrast in texture—the sprouted grains on the crust become lightly toasted and crisp, while those folded into the loaf remain soft and pleasantly chewy. It's a wonderful reminder of how one simple ingredient can offer two completely different experiences.

✨ Thank you for supporting our Craft Food Community. Your support allows me to continue baking with care and integrity, crafting food for greater health and true joy, bringing us all together around the table.
