Winter's in the air, and I'm baking up a storm!
Today I delivered (to the farm) ten baguettes, six loaves of French Country Bread, and a dozen Orange-cranberry Scones.
The FCB was a big seller when I worked in Gifford's in Kent. Light and airy crumb, just short of ciabatta. Kids love it for sandwiches. Good shelf-life, too. Just wrap in clear film to keep fresh, and as always...if you prefer a tough crust, place in your oven @400' for five minutes to get that "just outa the oven" zing!
Tomorrow (Saturday) I'm baking a sourdough seed bread with a bunch of special ingredients I just had delivered this afternoon. (It'll be loaded, I promise, for you multi-grain lovers.)
Also, an experiment...a mini-banana loaf with dried orange chunks and pecans. Who knows? It could be great!
And my usual Saturday savory scone fix, with roasted sweet peppers, sharp provolone and fresh rosemary from my garden.
Sunday's menu will be posted tomorrow!
Enjoy!
