The Bread Shed in Lakeside, AZ

Update for today - all bread sold, thank you to everyone who stopped in for bread. I will bake early Tuesday and Wednesday mornings with these bread options: classic sourdough (70% King Arthur organic/unbleached white & 30% Central Milling Company organic whole wheat), sourdough starter, water and salt); raisin cinnamon swirl, jalapeño cheddar and cranberry walnut. Call or text to pre-order. (928) 205-5822. Before I close this post I want to share my immense appreciation to all the new customers who are willing to try my sourdough bread and to all the customers (friends) who return week after week. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Today's available sourdough bread includes green chile cheddar and honey wheat w/sunflower & black sesame seeds. There are 8 loaves of each just out of the oven. $12 per loaf. Call, text or stop by @ 721 Mountain View Drive in Lakeside (85929). I'll update when sold out. Happy Sunday!

The ovens started at 4am and today's bake is finished. Available until sold: cinnamon raisin swirl sourdough (4 loaves, $12/each) and classic sourdough (6 loaves, $10/each). Callout to yesterday's bread pickups: if your loaf was undercooked or in any way not up to expectations PLEASE reach out to me for a replacement loaf. I've adjusted the bake-temperature for the Rackmaster RM2020 (new oven!) and today's takes are baked the way we all want the bread to bake (and taste and feel). I am in a learning curve shifting from baking in covered pans to open-bake, and there is no hiding any shortcomings in skill or knowledge when you open bake the sourdough loaves. Next bake will be tomorrow (limited loaves available).

Fresh baked bread available! Join me on my new oven journey, it is a spectacular tool towards improved bread output so any bumps in the road are baker-challenges, not oven-challenges. Available now until sold out today: classic sourdough (7), honey wheat with seeds (7) and cranberry walnut (5). I'll resume baking early tomorrow morning and will have raisin cinnamon-swirl available in addition to what is listed above. Call, text or stop by with any questions. Payment options include cash, Venmo (-Norton-16) & Zelle (Kathleen Norton (928) 205-5822). Loaves are $10 (classic) and +$2 for loaves with inclusions/anything added ($12). Thank you as always for supporting the ancient art of long-fermented, simple ingredient and small-batch baking.

Final bake as I transition from one week (and one set of ovens) to the new bake-week and new oven. Available: 2 green chile & cheddar loaves and 6 raisin-cinnamon swirl. Call, text or stop by if you would like either of these sourdough bread options. Next bake day is Friday with these options: honey wheat with sunflower and black sesame seeds, cranberry walnut and classic sourdough. Thanks for supporting your neighborhood sourdough baker!

Freshly baked bread available in limited supply today and tomorrow: classic sourdough (batard "artisan-shape" & loaf-pan shape available) and this week's feature loaf. Another pick from Maurizio Leo this is from page 229 in his book "The Perfect Loaf" and is titled "Oat Porridge." A combination of unbleached white, whole wheat flours and oatmeal with a touch of honey. Last week's whole wheat seeded bread was a hit and sold out so quickly I thought I'd stick with the wheat-theme for this week's feature loaf as well. $10 for either loaf. Call, text or stop by. I'm gearing up for the BIG bakes on Friday and Saturday for the Garden & Farm Tour on Saturday (we are a Lakeside location, note that this year's event is split into 2 days by town/location). I hope you will stop by for bread samples with toppings and your bread purchases on this day support the White Mountain Community Garden. Thanks for supporting your neighborhood sourdough baker! - Kathleen Norton (928) 205-5822 cell.
