For pickup on Wednesday, November 7 (please order by Sunday, November 4): We’re baking the ever-popular 100% whole grain SPENT GRAIN sourdough pan loaves, packed with barley groats from Midnight Sun Brewing Company’s beer-making process that make the bread healthy, moist, and flavorful. And we’re also lined up to bake our ALASKAN POTATO pan loaves, the 100% whole wheat sourdough bread that tastes like our levain, but has added moistness from the potatoes. Also for November 7 we’re baking the FRESH ROSEMARY sourdough.  Fresh rosemary gives the bread a lovely herbal flavor that goes really well with lots of different foods—great for sandwiches, as well as dinner bread with soup. If you’re using it for a dinner bread, just heat the unwrapped loaf in a 350 degree oven for 15 minutes to get a beautiful crisp crust on it before you sit down to eat, or just toast a couple of slices and dip them in olive oil to go with soups or salads.  YUM!  Another great loaf for toast with soups and salads is our TOASTED SEED sourdough bread, packed with sunflower, sesame, pumpkin, and flax seeds, and a little polenta for crunch. It’s 100% whole wheat, so it’s very hearty and nutritious. And for the sweet hearth loaf of the week, we’re baking our FRUITED ALMOND sourdough , loaves, loaded with dried apricots, cranberries, golden raisins, and toasted almonds. It’s wonderful toasted for breakfast or for a snack with tea or coffee in the afternoon!  Click on our long term baking schedule to see what we’ll be baking later this winter! the bread ordering deadline You’ll need to order your bread by MIDNIGHT on Sunday (starting on October 20), so we have time to plan our bake, feed our sourdough, and pre-ferment the dough!  When you order the bread, you can choose to “pay when you pick up your bread,” or you can pay via PayPal. By all means, use PayPal if you prefer—but I’m even happier to get your checks or cash when you come pick up your bread. bread pickup locations Pick-up locations for Wednesdays: 1.  Side Street Espresso, 412 G Street, downtown: 8-10am 2.  Sweet Adeline’s, at 1120 Huffman Rd, Suite 4 (in the mall at Huffman and Old Seward): 4-6pm If you need to call me during a pick-up time, you can reach me on my cell phone at 748-3712.

We have finished our summer at the South Anchorage Farmers Market, and we’ve switched to our wintertime routine. You can order the bread here on our website and we will bake your loaves for pickup on one or two Wednesdays a month. Please sign up for our email bulletins (see the sidebar on the left)! The bulletins remind you when we are baking, when you can order, and let you know what flavors of bread we’ll be baking . After you order bread, you can pick up your loaves on Wednesday evenings (4-6pm) at Sweet Adeline’s toy shop (just two doors down from the former Summit Spice and Tea shop at 1120 Huffman Rd, Suite 4), on Huffman Road OR on Wednesday mornings (8-10am) downtown at Side Street Espresso (412 G Street). PLEASE NOTE: We are now delivering to Sweet Adeline’s instead of Summit Spice and Tea. Before we start baking for our wintertime schedule, we are taking a few weeks off to visit family. Then we’ll be back to bake bread for Wednesday, November 7. If you sign up for the email newsletter (see the sidebar at left), I’ll send a reminder to you on Thursday, November 1.  If you’ve never ordered bread through the website, you’ll click on the “register now” link, pick a username and password, and enter your information (name, email, and phone numbers).
