This disheartening day inspired some more research about crust and how to best steam a wood-fired hearth oven. (Steam is what creates the dark, shiny crust and microbubbles pictured here.) The research led to some necessary and refining tweaks in my baking and steaming process! http://www.lefevrebakery.com/blog/2015/5/11/simplifying-the-pantry-why-less-is-more monthly 0.5 2015-05-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5394c357e4b0891dc2bec3e6/1431358546076-6Y1UNO7XKPPYZY3GI8IM/image-asset.png Blog - Simplifying the Pantry: Why Less is More The Pantry: Every loaf of naturally leavened bread you buy from LeFevre Bakery will include only these ingredients, plus water, of course! The one exception is ciabatta which contains commercial yeast, but is still made with the Daisy Organic Flour. http://www.lefevrebakery.com/blog/2015/5/5/fresh-ground-grain-when-quicker-is-better monthly 0.5 2015-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5394c357e4b0891dc2bec3e6/1430841880469-OMN8XXU6Q8YS8Y5I0JNR/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Fresh Ground Grain: When Quicker is Better Grinding soft spelt kernels from Small Valley Milling in Halifax, PA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5394c357e4b0891dc2bec3e6/1430842386363-BVIJWTJIGXE168W2QHUX/IMAG0513.jpg Blog - Fresh Ground Grain: When Quicker is Better A photo from my first visit to pick up grain at Small Valley Milling.

Potentially the dullest photo you've seen all week, as a baker this is a beautiful sight to me. When the levain floats it means the yeast is thriving and will make an excellent loaf of bread. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5394c357e4b0891dc2bec3e6/1430236275648-LIPX88XLD8Z50YV025I5/image-asset.png Blog - Fermentation: Harnessing the Power of Nature The whole point: Delicious and nutritious daily bread http://www.lefevrebakery.com/blog/2015/4/24/zl9f0yls1qxdkmwb9n325sztfn63rj monthly 0.5 2015-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5394c357e4b0891dc2bec3e6/1429915632764-LXW22C8DTON04AMRMUPI/Stone+Valley+Sourdough Blog - Winds of Change at LeFevre Bakery Sneak peek of Stone Valley Sourdough http://www.lefevrebakery.com/blog/2015/2/4/a-day-in-the-life-of-an-apprentice monthly 0.5 2015-02-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5394c357e4b0891dc2bec3e6/1423098158413-DQA1OYSTSG0TUKGIJ5TE/IMAG0018.jpg Blog - A Day in the Life of an Apprentice The beginning... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5394c357e4b0891dc2bec3e6/1423098561084-ZOVQGTIYALMPI5MXHU44/image-asset.jpeg Blog - A Day in the Life of an Apprentice and the end of the day. http://www.lefevrebakery.com/blog/2014/11/18/whats-in-a-name-the-story-behind-lefevre-bakery monthly 0.5 2014-11-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5394c357e4b0891dc2bec3e6/1416350320117-3RS02MO6KYEQ9MPSAQFN/lefevre_coat_of_arms__family_crest_downloadable_jpg_042e5b61.jpg Blog - What's in a Name?
