A new month is almost upon us and it’s a glorious time of year. The trees seem late in their color change and the warm weather has given us the feel of a few more weeks of summer. This week we’ve been enjoying the fair; it’s fun to see all of the creative skills that people have and demonstrate!
As October rolls in it’s time for a new month of breads. Fall flavors are one of my love languages and this month is one you don’t want to miss! Here’s the lineup for the next five Thursdays:
October 3: Oat porridge sourdough – this bread is like comfort in loaf form. So good for everything from toast to sandwiches to a thick slab next to a bowl of soup.
October 10: Sourdough soft pretzels – these are a crowd favorite and always take me back to our years in Germany.
October 17: Sourdough focaccia with garlic & rosemary – classic focaccia flavors, a slab of this is just the thing for a great sandwich.
October 24: Chocolate, walnut, and flax sourdough – this is a new bread for me and it’s packed with nutrition in addition to great flavor pairings.
October 31: Pumpkin cinnamon scones – October wouldn’t be complete without something pumpkin flavored. These are tender and just sweet enough without being cloying.
For subscribers this month I’ll also make you shareable-sized apple hand pie with apples from a local orchard.
Subscriptions are available for both house sourdough loaves and for the bakes of the week, as noted above. You can choose one or the other, or order both to ensure that you receive all the varieties this month. If you’re going to be out of town one Thursday, it’s a great time to gift a loaf of bread to a friend – someone else can pick up bread on your behalf.
If you’re just looking for baked goods now and then, you can also order week by week. Orders open on Fridays and close on Tuesday evenings, or when I sell out. This week, oat porridge sourdough and my house sourdough are available to order now for pickup on Thursday afternoon, October 3rd. When you order, you can choose to pick up at Hillsdale College or at my home in Hillsdale.
Payment is by cash, check, or cashapp, or by credit card when you order.
Please let me know if you have any questions or special requests. I am so very grateful to be your local baker!
