gotta tweak the dates

Breaking the bake into two days is proving to be a godsend. So, for the foreseeable future, I will continue to do it.

The first week of February , I will bake brown breads on Wednesday, February 1st and the white breads on Thursday, February 2nd. This burp in the Thursday-Friday schedule is due to an unavoidable appointment on Friday, Feb. 3rd. All I am doing is pushing the schedule back one day. The menu will be, for Wednesday:

• multigrain, seeded rye, mixed grain miche and baguettes.

For Thursday the menu will be:

• semolina, olive, pain au levain and baguettes.

I will continue to post weekly reminders of the dates and menus.

bread for week of January 26th and 27th

The menu for this week will remain what I posted earlier: multigrain, mixed grain miche, semolina, pain au levain boules and baguettes. But, I need to divide the bake into a two-day event.

So, for Thursday, January 26th I will bake the brown breads: multigrain and mixed grain miche plus baguettes.

For Friday, January 27th I will bake the white breads: semolina and pain au levain boules plus baguettes.

I regret causing confusion, but hope you will bear with me. Not only will I be warmer, but this arrangement will be better for the bread as well.

Ring in the New Year

Prairie Flour Bakery is ready to start off the new year by firing up the oven and baking bread. I will bake this coming Friday, January 6th and the breads will be:

• multigrain
• seeded rye
• semolina
• baguettes

Starting this week, you can place your order directly from the blog home page. Scroll down and on the right hand margin you will see the order form. In addition to sending me your order, it will send you a confirmation that I have received your order. Hats off to the Blogmeister, Kevin Crawley!

One caveat: if you place your order from the blog, do not also order via email.

Please try to get your order in no later than noon on Wednesday, January 4th. If your order comes in later than that, I will try to fill it, but cannot promise that I will be able.
