The First Commercial Order

Yes I make bread, as if you didn’t know that all ready. It is Sourdough from a starter that is over 100 years old. Of course I wasn’t there when it was started but I can tell you that I have had it since the mid 70’s to make bread and all things sourdough with.

A restaurant in town liked my bread and wanted to use it in the restaurant I said sure I will make some for you. Then they got to thinking and needed some flat bread too. So I made some Naan bread and let them try that – they liked that too. This morning I delivered the first order, two loaves of Sourdough Cinnamon Sugar bread and a whack of Naan Bread. Here is a picture before I delivered it. Yes I do deliveries directly to the door, but not just for anyone.

Did you know that from the beginning of time until about 1875, when commercial yeast was invented, all bread was sourdough. Check out the heath benefits on the Internet.

A quick note on the Naan bread – Sourdough Naan is the way they have always made it, that is until the late 1800’s or so when Commercial Yeast became available. Ok maybe they didn’t make it with Alaskan Sourdough but a sourdough of sorts is what they had. That means for the first time in many peoples memory, at least those that taste my Naan bread, are eating Naan that is really how it was originally made for like ever!

    • Yes working with a 3 and a 1/2 foot counter and not exactly a bread oven at 8,000 feet does generate some challenges.

      What I am not famous now? I am a legend in my own mind – does that count?
