Father's Day and Graduation Weekend

It's Father's Day weekend and we've got a special cake for your favorite dad or granddad....it's a moist two-layer yellow cake with chocolate buttercream and topped with toffee candy....ummm...what a delicious treat!  And this weekend we also bring back an old favorite ---  Walnut-Raisin Wheat....a scrumptious bread that pairs wonderfully with fresh goat cheese from fellow vendor Vicky Brown of Little Brown Farm. Stop by for a sample this week.

NOTE: We will not be at the market Saturday June 25. Will return with a gigantic lineup of holiday breads, pastries and cakes on July 2

New Breads This Week...

 

 This Week @ Tree-Top Baking...

This week we bake for the first time this year Sprouted Spelt.  It is very similar to our very popular Sprouted Wheat.  The Sprouted Wheat has a slightly pronounced nutty (richer) flavor then the wheat.

The process start out with "sprouting" the spelt berries for two days.  They are ready as soon as the grain can be easily broken, but long before there is any visual "sprouting".  If the grain was let fully sprout, the natural enzymes in the berry will basically "eat" the gluten resulting in a... well lets say brick.

Spelt berries soaking... day one.

Dough just coming together.

Dough fully mixed.

Final product!!!

New Items This Week...

Late Spring On The Bird Feeder

Our pair posing for photos... 

 

 We are introducing a few new items this week...

Sunflower Rye: This bread is a heavy dense "toothsome" rye with toasted sunflower seeds inside and rolled in more.  This bread will be baked in  unusual pans we got while in  Australia.
They are much deeper but narrower and shorter than the US made pans.  They make a really cool loaf of bread! 

Portuguese Sweet Bread: A soft sweet round bread (also known as Hawaiian Sweet Bread), The bread is usually served simply with butter and is sometimes eaten with meals (breakfast in particular), but often as a dessert. Portuguese sweet bread is common in both Hawaiian cuisine and New England cuisine as it was brought to those regions by their large Portuguese immigrant populations. (photo to come)

New South Wales Banana Caramel Cake: New South Wales Banana-Caramel Cake. This moist, perfect Summer sour cream cake includes whole wheat and white flours and lots of ripe bananas. It's topped with a brown-sugar caramel icing. Wow!
