The new jam bar was the star today. Fig & orange with an einkorn & buckwheat shortbread. 

I was one of the weird kids who liked fig newtons
 This is me running with it. 

Ginger spice cookies & applesauce rye rounded out today’s menu nicely. Thanks everyone who came by!

I will be off this weekend. No Market for us! Next week’s menu will drop on Saturday 10/3. Link in profile. by @el_breadshop

HELLO

This week- we are skipping town Saturday. Going to soak up this weather at the Gorge. So that means NO MARKET.

But, you can order for pick up Wednesday. APPLESAUCE RYE is on the menu. I replaced all the water in this loaf with applesauce, added a pinch of ginger, cinnamon & brown sugar. Handful of dates and walnuts too. It’s so good. đŸ«Ș

Whole rye, spelt & turkey red milled in house. Some people comment on how my bread is “heavy”. Guess what? It’s gonna fill you up, in a good way. Not an empty filling- you will be satiated and your body will be happy. 

Brown bread is in. 🔄 by @el_breadshop

Just got off the phone with a bro who tried to scam me. Come on man, in these times you’re gonna choose to add to the chaos? I don’t know his story but
. Really?

And here I am just trying to enjoy the first ginger spice cookie of the season with a cup of tea on an afternoon while my bread rests on the first perfect day of fall ! 

Baked off a batch of half sized cookies just to be sure they still slay

HEY HEY HEY

Tuesday is the first day of fall- you know what that means

the beloved Ginger Spice Cookie is here : it’s the best 
Rye levain, molasses, 6 spices, chewy spicy yum 

It’s perfect (to me) in every way & you can order yours for pick up Wednesday! Annnnd they’ll be at market Saturday as well (and really on the menu until spring).

Other fall menu items will roll out over the next couple weeks- sunflower oat porridge loaf is one of my faves & will also be on the menu this week

Lovely market this morning, not even that busy but I didn’t care. So many good conversations it was just nice to be out. The jam bars were beautiful, y’all slept on the einkorn sugar cookies, banana walnut bread still stellar. The spelt olive oil cake with black tea icing is so simple yet so divine. 

My son worked his first shift at the omelette stand and was able to make a few omelettes, although it’ll be a while before he’s on the line because it gets quite busy. But damn, I am proud. 

See you all next week. Get ready for Ginger spice cookie season! taken in Bardstown Road Farmers Market by @el_breadshop

Solid morning! My lovely assistants Francesca & Isabel came back with just 2 bags of flour. That’s amazing! Thanks to everyone who stopped by. 

Once again could not make enough pita to keep everyone happy, but so it goes. 

Got some fun things on the menu for next week. A whole basket of potatoes from @happyjacksfarm looking to be made into focaccia. A few jars of Kalamata olives staring me down too

It’s hard to think about doing all this somewhere else. But every time I bump into a corner or drop a basket of dough or scrape my knuckles on a wall- it’s all I want, to be in a bigger room, where the flow will just be better. To have an oven that isn’t so finicky and a fridge that is built to maintain its temp. At the very least to have my current ovens side by side. 

If you’ve been here long enough you’ve heard me rage against ever having a brick & mortar. And that’s not exactly what I am aiming for- I don’t need to be forward facing. Maybe a cute little front for pick ups but the main desire is a production space. There will be a big trade off. I have a lot of freedom rn, which is nice. But I do desire to get El Bread out to more people- and as it is, I am pretty capped. And to be completely honest, I am exhausted of trying to make this work. I need a little separation of work & family. 

I watch those I admire, closely, and have been taking notes. Conversations get tucked away in my head, pros& cons etc
 

If you’ve see anything around the downtown area, give me a heads up! I have had a few leads, nothing too serious yet. But I’ll know it when I see it. 💝 by @el_breadshop
