A Slice of Heaven!
I was so envious of Cheeseslave when she posted about the bread baker she met at her farmer’s market. Since we started this new way of eating, bread is something that has never measured up. The sourdough I’ve made is hard and dense and sour, and not something my family would consider sandwich-friendly at all.
But while visiting the market I will attend when my regular farmer’s market shuts down this week, I was introduced to a baker. (That’s one of the benefits of getting to know your farmers. Producers who know what you like and can introduce you to other producers.)
David Tannen, owner of Twin Forks Artisan Bread, makes WAP-friendly bread and it is so delicious! He makes sourdough only, but it’s not heavy and sour at all. It cuts very nicely without falling apart, and doesn’t sport the tough, tooth-challenging crust of many sourdoughs. He uses homemade yeast, and bakes in his homebuilt oven. I’ve tried three of his four delicious varieties, and they have found a place in my heart, my freezer and my table.
I’m trying to cut back on carbs in general, but for times when only bread will do, it will be this delicious bread I serve! If you’re a Whole Foods shopper, you can find his bread at Cool Springs and Franklin, TN. He also delivers to the Produce Place on Murphy Road over by Vanderbilt. If you’re in Franklin, come by the Saturday Franklin Farmer’s Market and meet him!

Yum! I’m planning on making some pumpernickel rye today, not soaked, but homemade. I would love to see some recipes!

I have been making homemade sourdough bread for a couple months. It is definitely sandwich quality sourdough, which I thought was unattainable, too. I accidentally put 5 cups of starter in my first two tries and my loaves flopped over the edges, but they were very light. The last time I made it I used 4 cups and it was a little denser than I like. Here’s the link:http://myblessedhome.blogspot.com/2009/03/how-to-make-amazing-bread.html I also used the honey/molasses update she has at the end.
Thanks for your blog! I really enjoy your perspective!
