Even before we actually mix the doughs for the breads and the buns, there’s a lot of prep behind the scenes….preparing the packaging, readying the bannetons, pre-measuring all the ingredients, choosing the right proofing bins, feeding the starter and so many more little things that take the stress out of dough day. Because a stress-free dough day is a great day!!

Gluten Free Bake Day!

Today’s baking was dedicated to fulfilling gluten free orders. We mixed and baked Sourdough Artisan loaves, Regular Artisan loaves and trays of Cinnamon Buns. ALL Gluten Free!

If you are gluten free, we got you! Check out our GF menu. We are proud of every item on it. They are delicious AND have amazing texture and crumb.

Team aka Dare to Love Walks in their Shoes!

We had a beautiful day to walk the Seaside Park boardwalk in support of Oceans Harbor House.

Thank you to our walkers and thank you to everyone that buys our baked goods. We are beyond thrilled that we get to bake for your table so we can help local organizations like OHH.

Here’s the crumb reveal from my very first gluten free sourdough bread bake!

It definitely has the crispy crust I expect from a sourdough loaf. The rise is not as lofty as with a wheat loaf and the crumb is tighter and less open. But this is completely as expected when gluten is not present.

Although the taste and texture is really quite good, I already know what changes I’ll make for my next bake.

Is it good enough to keep? Am I on the right track? This is for my gluten free friends to decide!! Let’s see what the feedback will be from my special team of taste testers. 😋
