The week between Christmas and New Year's is a much-needed partial vacation for me, and with the winter storm warning for today, you can imagine that I won't expect too many customers to show up at the market! I'll have a minimal selection this week:
--Artisan wheat bread
--Cheese crackers (cheddar, pepper jack)
--Granola (cinnamon pecan, coconut almond)
--Honey spelt oat bread
--Maple oatmeal bread
--Pain aux noix
--Rosemary cider bread --Sesame thins
--Spelt bread
--Tea rings and pecan rings
I may end up baking a few more things, but otherwise I'm sticking to the basics. Enjoy the holidays!

Hot Cross Buns!

They're slightly more than "one a penny, two a penny" -- have to account for the rising cost of everything over the past couple of centuries, you know. But these hot cross buns are a traditional Easter bread, enriched with butter and milk and egg, studded with raisins, and lightly spiced. And they'll be available at Local Roots for the Easter weekend.
(And maybe I'll even get some singles in the bakery case tomorrow!)

At the Market March 9-12
Next week, St. Patrick's Day will be here, and while you might not think of it as a holiday with specialty baked goods, I'm tapping my Irish roots (and heels!) and baking some Celtic-inspired treats:

Irish soda bread is a classic, but this recipe changes it up a little to make more of a tender, cakey sort of teatime treat. It includes lots of freshly milled whole wheat flour, local butter and milk and eggs, and dried currants.

Irish cheddar soda bread, on the other hand, is a little closer to the traditional soda bread -- a craggy little loaf that rises with baking powder and baking soda instead of yeast. This variation has more of that freshly milled whole wheat flour along with mmBossie cheddar cheese from Canal Junction Farmstead and dried thyme from Karen's Garden Delights.

Celtic knot bread and rolls are based on my new honey-oat-spelt bread but include a little extra butter and honey (both local) as well as shredded apples from Moreland Fruit Farm, cheddar cheese from Ohio Farm Direct, and dried thyme from Karen's Garden Delights. Look for the rolls in the bakery case and the loaves on the shelves.
(More Celtic-inspired treats later this week!)
Here's what else I'll have on my shelves at Local Roots this week:
--Baguettes
--Cheese-herb artisan bread: blue cheese-thyme, chèvre-rosemary, and feta-oregano
--Cinnamon-pecan bread
--Dried tomato flatbread
--Espresso chip shortbread
--Homestyle rye bread
--Honey spelt oat bread
--Maple oatmeal bread
--Pain aux noix
--Pizza crusts
--Pumpernickel bread
--Sesame thins
--Spelt bread
--Zaatar flatbread
Only one kind of vegetable roll to start the week (might make another later):
--Coconut curry rolls are back, with more of that wonderful baby pac choi from Breezy Hill Farm!
That's all I have to tell you about this early in the week, but with the luck o' the Irish, there will be even more great stuff later!

At the Market November 23-24

Local Roots Market has special hours this week due to the Thanksgiving holiday -- open Tuesday and Wednesday 11 AM to 7 PM and then Saturday 9 AM to 3 PM for Artisan Day -- so I'll have two posts this week about what's available each of those times.
For Tuesday and Wednesday, I'm trying to have a decent variety but somewhat limited quantities so that you can find good fresh bread for your holiday table:
--Baguettes
--Baklava
--Chai spice shortbread
--Cheese-herb artisan bread: cheddar-dill, cheddar-basil, possibly Black Swamp Gouda (from Canal Junction Farmstead Cheese) with sage, and Lock 21 (Brie-style from Canal Junction) with peppercorn
--Cinnamon-pecan bread
--Light rye bread
--Maple oatmeal bread
--Pain aux noix
--Rolls: both simple wheat and garlic herb
--Rosemary cider bread
--Rosemary walnuts
--Rye crackers
--Savory apple flatbread
--Sesame thins
--Zaatar flatbread
I've simplified things in the bakery case, too:
--Baklava by the piece
--Spicy Thai pac choi rolls, a favorite from earlier this month, with fresh pac choi and tatsoi from Karen's Garden Delights, carrots from Martha's Farm, onions and garlic in a spicy peanut sauce using peanut butter from Sherry's Classic Cuisine. Folks couldn't get enough of these delicious non-dairy rolls a couple weeks ago, so I've brought them back for your pre-holiday enjoyment.
For those who placed special orders for Thanksgiving, I will drop off your orders Wednesday morning.
And to everyone, have a joyful and delicious Thanksgiving!

At the Market November 17-20
The wind howled around my windows this morning, and it sounded an awful lot like winter. I know we still have a month to go before that officially happens, but in the meantime, I'm happy to crank up the oven and bake away the chill.
That, of course, translates into good bread and other delicious delights for you to find at Local Roots!:
--Artisan wheat bread and baguettes
--Baklava
--Basil pesto flatbread
--Chai spice shortbread
--Cheese-herb artisan bread: cheddar-dill, feta-oregano, Black Swamp Gouda (from Canal Junction Farmstead Cheese) with sage, and Lock 21 (Brie-style from Canal Junction) with peppercorn
--Cinnamon-pecan bread
--Light rye bread
--Limpa rye bread
--Maple oatmeal bread
--Pain aux noix
--Pumpernickel bread
--Rosemary cider bread
--Rosemary walnuts
--Rye crackers
--Savory apple flatbread
--Sesame thins
--Zaatar flatbread
It's going to be a lovely Lucky Penny week -- with Lucky Penny Creamery cheeses showing up in my bakery items!
--Creamy squash rolls with shredded homegrown butternut squash, sauteed with red onion, rosemary from Adonai Acres, and olive oil, and mixed with creamy chèvre from Lucky Penny -- comforting fall flavors!
--Spinach-feta rolls: The original vegetable-cheese roll is back, with spinach from Breezy Hill Farm and Adonai Acres, golden onions, and feta cheese from Lucky Penny.
In addition, I'll have two sweet treats in the bakery case:
--Baklava (now in slightly larger squares)
--Chai spice shortbread: buttery crisp cookies laced with ground cardamom and cinnamon as well as bits of crystallized ginger -- perfect for tea time or your morning coffee break!
On Saturday, I may well reprise last week's surprise success of pear-chèvre rolls -- a sweet version of the popular rolls using Lucky Penny chèvre mixed with Simple Products' pumpkin and spice syrup and chopped walnuts, with slices of dried pear (from Banzhaf Garten Organic Farm) for a concentrated burst of fall fruit.
Don't forget, if you're interested in placing a special order for Thanksgiving, pick up a brochure at the market and contact me by this Saturday, November 20. The orders are piling up, and I won't be able to fill many more!
Enjoy!

New for the Holiday Season: Week 1
Since the farming season is over for me, I have more time now to experiment in the kitchen and to bake new treats for Local Roots. As the holidays approach, I'm trying out new seasonal recipes and items appropriate for parties and other celebrations. Here's what's new this week:

--Rye crackers: If you enjoy the rye or pumpernickel breads I sell, you might give these thin, crispy crackers a try. Along with the organic rye flour from Stutzman Farms, they include cocoa powder, local sorghum molasses, and a sprinkling of caraway seeds. I'm smitten! especially when I dip them into creamy, tangy chèvre...

--Limpa rye bread: The traditional Swedish bread uses anise for its distinctive flavor, but this twist takes a typical rye bread (again, with organic rye flour and wheat flour from Stutzman Farms), sweetens it with local honey, and adds freshly grated orange zest, ground cardamom, and dried bronze fennel -- an anise-tasting herb -- from Karen's Garden Delights. If you don't think you like rye bread, try this for a hearty but delicately flavored change from your usual bread. (And think ahead: it would make a great palette for your leftover turkey sandwiches!)
Finally, you know the holidays are approaching when I start baking baklava once again. You'll find it in boxes of two pieces starting Friday; single pieces will be available in the bakery case next week. And if you're interested in having plenty of baklava for your holiday party, I'm happy to take special orders and offer volume discounts. Contact me at thegrainmaker [AT] gmail [DOT] com for more information.
More new stuff next week -- stay tuned!
