Our black & white sesame sour just may be one of my favorite loaves for avo toast, which I eat for lunch most days. Never gets old😚

It’s on the menu this week, alongside our pumpkin spice kouign amann (do not sleep on this one, folks), babka knot, apple kugen, sourdough focaccia and our OG country sour. Orders close tomorrow (Monday) at 10 pm!

Our preorder menu is live! I’m pretty excited to introduce y’all to a Leichtle family favorite — apple kugen! This dessert was a childhood staple. We always brought it to share with our class on our birthdays or social events. And we would always say “It looks weird, but it’s SO delicious!”😝

It’s a cakey crust topped with cinnamon roasted apples and a sweet sour cream topping. Served in bar form and makes a perfect little snack, dessert or breakfast (it was the first thing I ate this morning and I’ve had several more since lol). Give it a try and let me know if you love it as much as the Leichtle’s do!

This week’s menu:
- country sour
- black & white sesame sour
- rosemary & sea salt focaccia
- apple kugen
- pumpkin spice kouign amann
- dark chocolate & pistachio babka knot

November 6 - Pie Party! This year we’re baking up a spiced apple pie with a lattice crust. And yes, we will be making another festive cocktail/mocktail to sip as we bake.

Looking forward to seeing y’all tonight at pickup from 5-7 pm!

Since getting my new Rofco oven in July, every week has involved a little bit of tinkering here and there with the oven itself or with my bake day schedule, but I think I’ve finally got a method down that I’m happy with. I can’t get over how beautiful the sour loaves turned out today.

You may have noticed that our loaves are now baked to a nice dark color. Something I couldn’t always achieve in my other oven. I love a good bold bake because it imparts that extra kick of flavor to an already flavorful loaf🔥 See y’all soon!
