It is very bittersweet to announce that The Bookish Baker is out of commission. I am moving to Edmond, Oklahoma with plans to pursue baking full time. I’ll be using a new bread company name that I may share soon, so if you live in or visit that area, keep an eye out! I thank you all so very much for your support and love of my breads. It has been my joy to bake for you.

Returning to Farmers Market for one more week! My cranberry walnut and jalapeño cheddar loaves are different this week, with the cranberry bread baked as sourdough (we love it even more this way), and the jalapeño cheddar as a sandwich size loaf! Come see me Thursday at 3:00, at the Civic Center.

A Love for Sourdough

I’d never made much bread without using a bread machine until a year ago. I purchased a book, Bread Baking for Beginners by Bonnie O’Hara, and used my free time over the summer (when I’m not teaching) to work my way through the book. You master the basic techniques and advance up to sourdough. I wanted to make my own sourdough, which was the number one reason for attempting the complicated, technical endeavor of baking bread. I love that sourdough bread is easier to digest and really just uses three ingredients: flour, water, and salt. It is naturally leavened using a sourdough “starter” which grows natural, wild yeast from the air (yes, really!) from just flour and water left to sit in a jar. Sourdough has that good bacteria that aids in digestion, like a pro-biotic in many ways. And for me, it just tastes amazing! In the summertime when I have fresh tomatoes from my garden, a toasted sourdough baguette topped with bruschetta is really, really hard to beat.
