My first ever painted sourdough loaf 🥹🌸🍞
I have always loved bread but can’t say I ever had any true passion about any one bread in particular … until I met Paulo, founder of some years ago! I started buying his croissants and cookies (and OGs remember when he sold BLUEBERRY MUFFINS - these were my FAVORITE), and then decided one day I wanted to buy one of his loaves, which always looked so delicious, garnering long lines at farmers markets! I was officially converted to a sourdough lover. But not just *any* sourdough. Only ! His bread in particular is nice and airy, light, and has@a specific tang that just tastes so delightful.
Over the weekend I was able to learn about his sourdough making process, and I’m so glad Paulo and Michelle opened their bakery doors after hours to provide such a wonderful and informative experience so I could learn the complexities of sourdough making, and appreciate the wide possibilities this has left for me to explore a new culinary map that has yet to be drawn. Im still intimated by all of the steps involved but I am confident I can get the process down!
I told Christian last year that I desperately wanted to paint my own bread - what a wonderful way to combine my love of baking with my love of creating visual art. Well, my dreams finally came true. Christian gifted me a lovely le creuset Dutch oven for Christmas AND this opportunity to learn from one of the sourdough GOATs, Paulo!! Im eager to try making great bread at home 🍞 but nothing will ever replace our coveted trips to the bakery to enjoy delish sweet and savory works of art that can never be replicated by anyone else! Thank you Paulo and Michelle!! 🍞
