Sourdough lives!
Breadworks Bakery in Boulder/CO:
The recently voted Best Bakery by the local newspaper Daily Camera's feature of people's choice awards has a spec sheet of all their breads sold. Lo and behold, their specialty breads and everyday breads totaling 26 different types of bread have only four containing "yeast": Challah, Pretzels (with sourdough), Focaccia Roll (with white starter) and Rustic Roll. All the other's are made with sourdough starter, whole wheat starter, light rye starter, rye starter, semolina starter. They use exclusively organic flours. Besides breads, they produce a wide selection on pastries and cakes. A great part of their production is for local restaurants and other retail outlets. Seems like another bakery having a handle on sourdough. Roy Basan, why don't you tell us a couple more anecdotes about the unmanageability of the sourdough monsters, like my favorate one, where you hang out in German bakeries and listen to customers asking questions: > I have been there and have not seen > or heard a costumer who will ask to the bakery salespeople if he/or > she is buying natural sourdough? As seen on August 30, 2003 in the thread: "How do you know if you caught Fleischmann's yeast by mistake?"

I have been watching this thread develop, and said, something is wrong here. Living in Seattle, I have two or three favorite bakeries. Most of their artisan breads are levain based. The local Safeways (god forbid!!) also make several breads with a levain. -- Alan "If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion, and avoid the people, you might better stay home." --James Michener |
