Beautiful, Beautiful Bread

Our day started at 7AM with dough…

KERF UPLOAD25Blog

And ended with beautiful round loaves.

I started with coffee and a banana with PB

We also made Blueberry Coffee Cakes (the first thing to sell out!)

KERF UPLOAD24Blog

Hot taste!

IMG_8153Blog

I also tasted the Dillon Cookies (whole wheat!) for breakfast ; )

KERF UPLOAD26Blog

All ready at 10AM for the community to come in – the line was out the door!

IMG_8179Blog

It was MADNESS but fun and great experience! I had never worked a cash register before, and that was definitely my biggest challenge. Slicing bread and smiling were easy ; ) Looks like Great Harvest is making tons of money for the high school band.

KERF UPLOAD23Blog

We broke for lunch at 12:15 and had a platter from Subway to dig through. We all chose to discard the Subway bread and replace it with GH – such a good change!

IMG_8191Blog

I made a salad from Subway toppings and smothered some Sunflower Wheat with peanut butter. I cannot describe how wonderful this was!!!!!!!!!!!

IMG_8190Blog

I could taste the raw onions that touched my salad components…how offensive!

IMG_8193Blog

Chips and a taste of pound cake

IMG_8192Blog

We are delivering baskets of bread after lunch and have our graduation at 4:30! Then a drink at the local bar….then Matt and I are heading off on a birthday celebration dinner!

    Yumm! What brand of yeast does Great Harvest use or does it vary from store to store? Because of a food intolerance I am only supposed to use certain yeast brands and I would be great to find out I can eat Great Harvest bread!

      I am not sure, but it’s fresh cake yeast. I’d ask your local store exactly what they use

    The shots of the bakery are really clear and colorful – hope you can use them for marketing website or store posters and/or brochures for your new shop! Given the response from your readers, they certainly produce the kind of desire you’ll want to elicit from your customers.

    hi! Im Kath.

    I'm a Registered Dietitian, healthy eater, and mom of two from Charlottesville, Virginia. Here you’ll find a healthy mix of real-life meals made from whole ingredients balanced with the pleasures of life, including buttercream frosting and good wine. Plus a sprinkle of nutrition, home life, beauty, parenting, and travel.
