Wild Flour Bread

Do you want something unique for your bread?

One of the best bread escapade I have had is the wild flour bread experience. This is the sound of organic sourdough breads, biscotti and scones, in a cup of white chocolate, double chocolate, espresso, hazelnut, ginger, apricot... you name it!

Producing bread in a wood fired oven makes especially thick crusts. Sour dough does not necessarily mean sour but rather breads that are risen only with organic sour dough (fermented flour and water). This is not just great-tasting but very healthy and breads that can last until tomorrow or the next day.

There's this Wood Fired Brick Oven Baked Bread Bakery & Organic Garden, located in Freestone, California near Sebastopol who have breads arrive by the hundreds, they make make up to 900 loaves daily and sell only in that bakery! You can imagine that. Generally they have 10 to 12 kinds of bread daily. Each day the variety of breads changes. Like wine tasting, they sample all of their breads so that you can experience a huge variety of tastes.

That's making the breads in wood-fired oven. I have been thinking of baking my own thick-crusted bread, or the wild flour breads but I still have to decide whether or not to get my own brick oven. Well, there sure is a better way to get this ancient baking technique to my kitchen.

So, the next time you travel California, this wood-fired baked oven bread bakery can be a great stop. I have been there a couple of times and thick-crusted bread are truly fun!
