Love what's going on in California with Community Grains http://civileats.com/2016/06/09/community-grains-gets-closer-to-a-localized-grain-economy-in-northern-california

Community Grains' effort to bring together farmers, plant breeders, millers, and bakers may finally be paying off.

It's pre-order time for this Sunday's bread. Get it while it's...well, before it's hot!

Going to bake up a big 'ol batch this Sunday. Like Dr. Phil says, you've gotta name it to claim it. Or is it visa versa? Hmm. Either way, claim/name your loaf and we'll bake it/make it. Your bread will be ready for pickup starting at 5pm at the Art Cafe.

It's that time again. Pre-order your bread for Sunday pickup.

That's what Sunday's are for, right? Kicking back, relaxing. For us, it's standing around in front of a blazing hot oven making bread. Go figure.  Your bread will be ready for pickup starting at 5pm at the Art Cafe.  Cheers, Tom Handsome Bread

Bread Pre-orders open for this Thursday

Thursday this week we'll be baking two types of breads. One is the Pain au Levain we've been making all along, and the other is a Rosemary Onion Rustique. Two very different loaves with distinct flavor profiles. Can't wait to fire up Puff the Magic Oven again after two weeks! I know, some of you are…

This woman was making bread the way The wandering Bedoins have done it for centuries. Heat up a pan filled with small rocks, stretch a yeasted dough (fermented for only an hour), put it directly on the hot rocks (in this photo the rocks are covered until she is ready to bake one). In about two minutes you've got some delicious bread to tear into and dip into sauces. For a people on the move, this technique is perfect. Minimal equipment and setup time, super short dough preparation and quick bake time.

We hauled Puff the Magic Oven over to the farm, fired it up and made a ton of super healthy pizza for the attendees. Had a blast!
