IN THE NEWS WITH BREAD AND FLOURS - A CHANCE TO SHARE OUR WEEKLY THOUGHTS

We are back!

Jim...They are back, I thought they never left?

Yes, we never left, we were awaiting our mill to be once again operational to grind fresh flour for our loaves!

We have recalibrated with brute strength, literally, our new millstone onto our mill.

Our mill is up and running and we are grinding fresh flour once again. This is foundational for our commitment to the healthiest and freshest bread in the Coachella Valley. This was an opportunity to test our metal, as they say. We would like to thank the team at Pleasant Hill Grain out of Nebraska, Darren Necker of Pleasant Hill Grain, and Bahnson's Machine Shop in Palm Springs. Specifically Enrique Cota at Bahnson's, whose patience, fortitude and assistance was foundational in getting our mill back up and running. Thank you Enrique! It took a village and we are forever grateful.

Wong Farms, Mecca, CA

Debbie Wong and her family have a beautiful farm in Mecca. They grow delicious vegetables and fruit.

From time to time Bread and Flours will have access to some of their "peak fruit and vegetables".

The fun part of this is that we don't know when! When the opportunity comes we take it!

January 19th, Tuesday, on the Bread and Flours "shop page" we will be listing tri-colored squash and basil just picked and locally grown! Don't miss out! Farm Fresh just picked literally! Guaranteed.

"Share a Loaf "

At times we have "gifted" a loaf to our clients, and we will say or leave a note saying, "to enjoy or share". Today one of our regular customers shared with me that she gave the loaf with some of her chicken noodle soup to some friends who are battling COVID. It made my day. In that spirit and inspiration, Bread and Flours will gift a loaf of "SoCal Sourdough 2.0" to a client who knows a friend, neighbor, or family member that is battling COVID. When you place an order with us, just send us an email letting us know that you would like to "share a loaf". We will add a loaf of our "SoCal Sourdough 2.0" to your order at no charge. Please be safe and follow Covid protocols when you deliver. We will add a note to your order, with the name of the person and well wishes for healing. Thank you.

Hellenic Farms are curators of world-class Greek products. Vivianna, the owner, is sourcing directly from the archipelago these exceptional food products and started her company in 2013 after moving from Greece for love. Together with her husband, they spoke to local producers about this idea of putting together dried figs into a salami. These Fig Salamis are 100% plant-based and made with whole ingredients. They are GMO-free, with no added sugar, and are gluten-free. Bread and Flours had the opportunity to try these and we were smitten. We are thrilled to debut these two flavors in the Coachella Valley: The Dried Greek Figs Orange Zest Pepper, and Dried Greek Fig Almonds Black Pepper.

PRESERVES/CONSERVES:

(due to seasonality, our preserves rotate - all our preserves and conserves are plant-based)

Kristin's Organic Blueberry Preserves - $12.75 per jar

Like all of our preserves, we are constantly striving for an end product that is not too sweet and one that allows the true flavor of the fruit to shine. Though we love blueberry preserves (and pie), we often find that the sugar overpowers the fruit, and makes it hard to enjoy more than a bite. For this recipe, we slow-cooked the organic blueberries with just the needed amount of sugar and some freshly squeezed lemon juice. The result is a pop of chunky blueberry preserves with just a hint of acidity from the lemon juice. Perfectly balanced, just how we like all of our jarred concoctions. Ingredients - Organic Blueberries, sugar, and lemon.

8 fluid oz in a glass jar.

Kristin’s Citrus Marmalade with Vanilla Bean - $10.50 per jar

We love the complex layers that various citrus fruits bring to this marmalade. Tart grapefruit, soft orange, and bright lemon simmered down with sugar and aromatic vanilla bean. The vanilla takes a back seat to the tartness of the citrus but somehow mellows out the overall flavor.

Grapefruits, Oranges, Lemons, Vanilla Bean, Sugar.

8 fluid oz in a glass jar

OLIVE OIL / BALSAMIC VINEGAR:

IMPERIAL VALLEY CALIFORNIA OLIVE MILL - Extra Virgin Olive Oil - 250ml - $15.00 a bottle

The Barioni family has four generations of agricultural knowledge and history in the Imperial Valley. This family produces estate olives and citrus. At Bread and Flours, we are proud to be the first to bring this to our customers in the Coachella Valley. This Extra Virgin olive oil is the first cold press of the olives at their Mill. They use a mixture of Koroneiki, Arbosana, and Arbequina olives for the first cold press to produce the finest extra virgin olive oil. The Barioni's use no pesticides or chemicals on their olive trees and this oil has a distinct flavor of green, mellow notes giving you a little tickle in the back of your throat. Extra Virgin olive oil is considered to be the healthiest type of olive oil and it is the least processed. We believe you will agree that is some amazing olive oil.

250ml Darkened Glass Bottle - 8.45 fluid oz

IMPERIAL VALLEY CALIFORNIA OLIVE MILL - Estilo Affinato a Modena Balsamic Vinegar - 250ml - $18.00 a bottle

Given as a gift to Countess Matilde of Canossa from Emperor Henry II in 1046, Balsamic Vinegar of Modena, Italy, was used at the time as an elixir with the ancient recipe being passed through the generations from father to son for centuries. Balsamic Vinegar of Modena has been known to be a highly sought after condiment with therapeutic qualities. This "25 Star" rated Balsamic from Modena, Italy, continues to use the time-honored tradition using Trebbiano grapes that are heated and reduced down by 40% through evaporation and placed into cherry, chestnut, oak, and juniper barrels. At that point, the process continues and aged in the next set of barrels and so on until you have this beautiful rich dark dense liquid that is bursting with a range of flavors that dances on your palate.

250ml Darkened Glass - Imported from Italy - 8.45 Fluid oz

Yecora Rojo is the staple grain of this delicious bread. A grain, that has mild nuanced flavors. Soft, mellow, a stepping stone grain for those interested in diving into bolder flavors on the scale. Yecora Rojo was developed by the International Maize & Wheat Improvement Center in Cooperation with the Mexican Ministry of Agriculture in Mexico. One single grain and one hundred percent of fresh house milled stone-ground Yecora Rojo. This grain is grown, picked, and bagged in the Imperial Valley, and is a hard red wheat.

Organic Pima Club Sourdough - Loaf Pan - $12.00

I am grateful to Kurt, one of our grain guys, who introduced me to this Organic Pima Club. Little did I know, through our hot summer, there was gold right before our eyes were waiting to be discovered. This grain was thought to be extinct and was re-established on the Gila River Indian Reservation with the "Akiemel O'Odham" ( Pima, River people). This is one of the four varieties believed to have been brought to the region by an Italian Franciscan priest Father Eusebio Kino and exchanged with the natives. A well-known explorer, cartographer, missionary, and astronomer proved that the California Baja was not an island. He also was a defender on behalf of the Native people fighting against European settlers who attempted to enslave the natives. Today we bring you this beautiful Organic Pima Club Sourdough loaf, with organic raw unsalted sunflower seeds mixed into the crumb along with "sprouted" organic pumpkin seeds sprinkled on the top. The soaking and sprouting of the seeds help accessibility to the seeds beneficial nutrients. One would think that baking the seeds would harm them, yet baking increases certain bio-availability for our micro-biome to access these nutrients. Both seeds provide magnesium, copper, and zinc; studies suggest magnesium can increase our bone health and density. This is soft white wheat, that is awnless ( no long wheat hair connected to the seed casing) that is short, squat wheat, with a short head, differing from other grain varieties these short heads are called “club” grains or wheat, hence Pima Club. Along with the beautiful beige color from the fresh ground, house milled grain of the Pima Club, and the sunflower seeds' added texture in this loaf, make this a winner.

100% Organic Loaf + 100% Whole Wheat

Stone Ground Organic Pima Club Flour, Organic Sunflower Seeds, Organic Sprouted Pumpkin Seeds, Sourdough Culture, Filtered Water, Pink Himalayan Salt

"The All-Love Sourdough - Boule Shape - $10.75

Since we are in desert, even on these beautiful 70F "Winter" days, you cannot go wrong with this loaf. So when we were putting together our "Olive" loaf, we thought "All-Love" had a better ring and message for us. This loaf has 30% House milled Stone Ground Yecora Rojo, 70% Organic Hard Red Wheat, California Manzanilla Olives, Lemon Zest, and Herbes de Provence. It is perfect for the person that is looking for savory with a hint of zippy lemons.

A wonderful combination.
