ARCHIVES     GREATER EDISON     the "OCCASIONAL" LOAF

With the holidays literally around the corner, Breadfarm is in high production producing the best bread and sweet treats for your holiday gatherings. 

First and foremost, be sure to stop in and get a loaf of Pan D'Oro.  This specialty bread is only made in the holiday season.  Originating in Northern Italy, we bake it in a star shaped mold.  Sprinkle it with powdered sugar and it will resemble a star of snow covered tree.  Enjoy it solo, or top with crème fraiche, mascarpone, whipped cream or ice cream and fresh fruit or preserves.  Pan D'Oro makes a decadent dessert, we think it's the closest bread can come to cake.

The Ginger Raisin Bread is back for December.  You can find it baked on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at our retail shop.  We love this bread toasted on Sunday morning with coffee, or use the leftovers to make a really flavorful dish of Ginger Raisin Bread Pudding.

Caryn recently developed our 100%Tonasket Rye Bread.  It's a deliciously crafted, dense loaf of non-wheat bread.  Made with fine and coarse rye flours, cracked rye grain and a sprinkling of sunflower seeds, this is a tasty loaf of bread for all you non-wheat eaters.  Try it toasted with honey, sliced thin with cheese or in a killer Ruben sandwich.  This 2# loaf stores best refrigerated.

Staffing update....Sarah just returned from her sabbatical in Italy.  She got to try her hand at baking in a wood fired oven and is now inspired to bake a pizza in 3 minutes.  After much relaxing, eating good cheese, crappy bread, and drinking Italian wine, she is back at the bakery, to our joy, tending loaves and working at development in our ancillary department of sweets and goodies.  Caryn recently rocked out the house by making the delicious Fredonia Fig Bars. 

Happy holidays, thanks to all for supporting your local, artisan bakery.  Breadfarm...passionate bakers making great bread.
