🌾 Bent Creek Bakehouse Menu | First Week of January 🌾
Hi Friends and Neighbors!
I hope you all enjoyed a joyful holiday season and are settling into the new year. Wishing you and your families a wonderful start to 2026, filled with warmth, good food, and time together.
And if you’re an IU fan like me, it’s been an especially fun way to ring in the year celebrating the Hoosiers’ Rose Bowl win — a little hometown joy that made this first week back in the kitchen even sweeter.
This week’s menu reflects the comfort and simplicity of January, with a seasonal persimmon loaf, a bright lemon sourdough sweet bread, and the everyday favorites many of you return to week after week — all baked from scratch in small batches, just like always.
