Bun In The Oven

We made bread!!!

IMG_9620Blog

Big fluffy loaves of Honey Whole Wheat

IMG_9616BlogIMG_9621Blog

Really, Matt made the bread –

KanzbakingBlog

IMG_9617Blog

With the awesome help of one of our new Sponge + Dough guys, Alex, who volunteered his time to come get his hands in some dough!

IMG_9622Blog

They also made some Farmhouse White bread

IMG_9625Blog

Of course some sensory analysis was required

IMG_9623Blog

We had a couple of slices to test the crumb. It was near perfect!

IMG_9636Blog

The guys also made a bunch of Scuffins, but due to some oven temperature calibration issues, they weren’t that pretty. I meant to get a picture but forgot!

The cool thing about today was that anyone who walked in the door got free scuffins + bread!!

“I’m sorry we’re not open yet, but would you like a loaf of bread anyways!?” It was great. We have about 5-10 people coming in everyday. It’s kinda cool! We’re donating all of our test breads – don’t worry we would never waste them.

IMG_9619Blog

When the bread came out of the oven, we each had a slice and then sat down for lunch for more slices. The boys had sandwiches, I had a salad that I brought from home to compliment the bread.

IMG_9628Blog

Spinach in olive oil + lavender salt with chickpeas and a leftover salmon cake.

IMG_9627Blog

Mmmmm honey is my new favorite food! Besides doughy bread 🙂

IMG_9631BlogIMG_9629BlogIMG_9633Blog

I had a good amount of bread + scuffin nibbles throughout the middle of the day, which left me feeling rather lethargic!

But we had some shopping to do! We are so lucky to live right next to Possessions Recycled, which is a antique + recycling store. Instead of driving to a big box store and figuring out how to get things home, assembled and all the trash that goes with them, we’ve been able to walk next door and just pick out what we need! Bob, the owner, has been such a help!

IMG_9639Blog

Our lovely green table came from Bob –

IMG_9641Blog

And all of our racks

IMG_9645Blog

And today we went looking for a table for our coffee condiments and came home with this charmer!

IMG_9638Blog

The theme of the bakery is “ultra modern meets vintage.” I think that pretty much describes my style!

IMG_9640Blog

I also found a ceramic bowl for coffee condiments, some jars and a basket. Plus a mirror for the bathroom that matches PERFECTLY with our lights but I forgot to photograph!

IMG_9643Blog

I spent the afternoon paying bills, organizing our local honey collection and doing some cleanup/organization here and there.

IMG_9642Blog

It’s a real bakery now!

    Thanks for taking on us your bakery journey. It is so interesting to watch it happen from the ground up. I absolutely love both of the tables you are using for the bakery.

    I love Great Harvest here in Temecula CA and hope yours is as successful as ours here. I know here they are always busy at lunchtime. Instead of cake my daughter wanted me to bring in their Sourdough to school for her birthday. The students loved it and it was instantly gone!

    I love Great Harvest Honey Whole Wheat Bread. Yours look just delicious! My local GH has a frequent buyer card. I get a stamp each time I visit and buy bread. I get a free loaf after buying 12. The best part is the card never expires! With just 2 of us in the house a loaf goes a long way. I know you two will be so successful.

    Hey Kath! That bread looks amazing! As an extremely talented chef/food-blogger, I thought you should know that when you say that one food item “compliments” another, you really should be using “complement.” (I.e. “The sweet tea was an excellent complement to the dark chocolate.” NOT “The sweet tea was an excellent compliment to the dark chocolate.”) I’ve noticed it a few times on your blog, so I thought you might appreciate knowing the proper usage, especially when it comes to discussions on food!

      I am very aware of that rule but sometimes forget to type it.

        In fact, I’m aware of EVERY grammar rule I break – as I’m sure lots of us bloggers are – but when you type like your talking to someone, sometimes you just slip!

      Maybe bronze it first so it doesn’t get moldy.

    your store looks amazing!!! The vintage pieces fit perfectly with the Great Harvest vibe. We have a few in our area and it is my favorite bakery in the whole world. I’ve never had such moist and yeasty whole grain bread. I got to tour one of their bakeries with my son’s preschool once and they showed us a cake of their fresh yeast – is that what you use? I’m thinking that must be the secret because my homemade whole wheat bread is never quite as good. Oh, and the freshly milled flour, I’m sure that contributes as well!

    Congratulations to you both, so amazing!

      We do use fresh yeast – and I do think that it makes a huge difference!

    I love how you are “donating” your breads! They look so delicious, I´d like to have one loaf too, too bad I am too far :))

    I am a BIG fan of Great Harvest black/blueberry cream cheese scones here in WA so it’s very exciting to see a new Gh being built and seeing what goes on “behind the scenes!”

    Love the “ultra modern meets vintage” look of your bakery. I would love those tables for my home (a brick English Tudor style that was built in 1929). Modern meets vintage has been our style for decorating and remodeling. The bread looks delicious and how generous of you to give the bread away. People will be lined up at the door the minute you open! My children’s favorite place to visit is Great Harvest, they ask everyday to go there. Our next scheduled visit is next Wednesday to get bread for our “softball picnic”. They have their pictures colored and in the van for a free cookie, although I think they get more excited about the bread! We would love to visit your GH someday. Congratulations, you and Matt look so happy and excited!

    That bread looks SO fluffly! Wow. The bread that I make is usually pretty flat compared to that. Wish I was closer and could try it out. I think the closest GH to me is an hour away!

    I think it’s awesome that you’re giving out bread to people that walk in. Great idea!

    Hey Guys!
    My husband Mike will be out in a few weeks to help open your bakery. Things are looking sooooo good…way ahead of where we were eleven years ago when we opened. I think Mike will be able to learn a lot from you. Please give us a call if you need anything. Get ready for a wild ride:)
