Breadness Buzz - Toast & Jam Tasting, Frozen Country Loaves Special, Chocolate Sourdough...

NOTE: If this is your first Breadness Buzz, or you've been part of our tribe but missed earlier posts, visit the Breadness Buzz Archive here and catch up on some Breaducation written especially for you. It's a great way to meet like-minded artisan sourdough aficionados and be part of this journey I started back in 2016. And now for this week's Buzz...

Toast & Jam Tasting...

It's Happening! This Sunday, Feb 23rd, from 4 to 6p, we're having a special after-hours event: The Random Acts of Breadness Toast & Jam Tasting!

I have been researching the amazing world of artisan fruit spreads and have found 4 companies that offer a diverse selection of flavors, jars and sizes.

We have 10 flavors from Clif Family in Napa, 9 options from Sqirl in Virgil Village, 3 flavors from Roots Kitchen & Cannery in Montana/Wyoming and all the way from Italy, we have 7 offerings from Bionaturae for you to try.

That's 29 flavors in all, many of them organic, all of them unique. But we cannot carry them all, we must narrow down the field and that's where you come in!

We'll be toasting up our #1 rated Artisan Sourdough bread and serving samples of as many of these spreads as you would like to taste. We'll ask for a quick rating after each flavor, and we'll note it down.

And once we have the final tally, we'll place our initial order and make these part of our Gastronomic Gallery!

>>> FROZEN FLASH SALE! <<<

This has only happened once since we opened in 2021, so you definitely want to take advantage of our Frozen Country Loaf Sale! Buy one pre-sliced, double-bagged frozen Country Loaf, get a second frozen Country loaf for 1/2 price! You can mix and match Boules and Batards, Medium and Thin-sliced. It's all good...

Not only is this a GREAT DEAL, but our Frozen Sourdough is actually better for you as freezing drops the Glycemic Index of our Country Loaf from 53 down to 37! And when you toast a thawed slice of this bread, the Glycemic Index drops another 10% down to 33!

Add a good fat on the bread (butter, cheese, olive oil, avocado) and you've got a resistive starch that will make it all the way to your microbiome where your "gut buddies" are going to have a feast!

>> This sale is for in-bakery purchases only and is limited to stock on hand.

You're welcome to purchase any of our fresh loaves as well...

Chocolate Sourdough?

Cyndie has been not-so-subtly hinting for me to make a Chocolate Sourdough bread. And as I write, there are 4 test loaves in the refrigerator which will be baked Thursday and evaluated.

Each loaf is a different recipe so I'm quite interested to see how they vary in taste. Two of the loaves have sugar-free chocolate chips; the other two do not. All of the loaves are sugar-free with a varying amounts of Pure Monk organic sweetener to offset the natural bitterness of organic Dark Cacao. There's organic non-alcohol Vanilla Extract in this recipe as well.

If you come to the bakery Friday or Saturday, we may be offering samples (as long as the loaves turned out well enough to do so; no way to tell until they're baked and cured).

Here's what we've got at the bakery this week...

— Organic Artisan Sourdough Country Loaf (Batard, Boule, Petite, Bread Bowl)

— Organic Artisan Cinnamon Raisin Maple Pecan Sourdough Loaf (Boule, Petite)

— Organic Artisan Cinnamon Raisin Maple Pecan Sourdough Rolls (3 per bag)

— Organic Artisan Sourdough Crisps (Cinnamon Raisin Maple Pecan)

— Amazing Fresh Coffee, Holland Process (Cup or Demitasse)

— Raw Farm Butter (Cultured Unsalted [French style], Lightly Salted [American style])

— Raw Farm Cheddar Cheese (1 lb.)

And our awesome lineup of Extra Virgin Olive Oils, Balsamic Vinegars, Tapenades, and Nut Butters.

Random Acts of Breadness is located at 2214 West Magnolia Blvd in Burbank, 2-1/2 blocks east of Buena Vista on the south side of the street. Order at breadness.com/#shop, or via DoorDash. We also ship locally and nationwide.

We're open Thursday, Friday, Saturday 12 to 6pm, and Sunday 11am to 4pm.

Looking forward to seeing you at the bakery this week...
