Believe me when I say this rich, moist chocolate cake (9"x9") is for vegans and non-vegans alike! If you're not vegan, you won't believe it's vegan. But it is!! For an everyday chocolate cake, this is actually my go-to. Topped with chocolate glaze and seasonal decor. Thank you!

This cake is so tasty, and even better the next day!! Bear with me while I say that it is dense, yet light. I am not usually so ambiguous with descriptions, but what I mean is that it is a substantial cake (moreso than angel food cake) that is both light and moist. My husband said it is a great breakfast bread (not to mention he did not know it was dairy-free, and loved it!), and I said it was like a giant muffin! The walnut crumb topping is a nice texture transition and fun topper. Get your omega 3s and fiber/fruit serving at once with this cake. Refrigeration is not required for this cake, but recommended after one day to preserve freshness. One 8" round cake. Vegan-friendly.

Bavarian Rye is for the more "serious bread eater." It is for those who know that the essence of bread, true bread, is an "old soul." Deep and slightly pungent flavors of Carolina-grown organic whole wheat and rye are pronounced and topped with aromatic and antioxidant-packed caraway and dill seed. When I used to make this bread for a local open-air farmers market, I could always count on seeing RoseMarie, returning for her loaf or two of Bavarian Rye-- one for herself, one for her daughter. It thrills me to bake for all of you, all of my customers. But let's be real-- when a German woman approves of your German-inspired bread you feel a certain kind of humility and gratefulness, even awe at the connection of old world practices, the long-standing profession of the Baker, other times, other places, nostalgia and nourishment, and how all of these things can be awakened by one handmade loaf of bread.

Mostly white, a little whole wheat, dried cranberries and pecans make this an ideal sourdough bread for breakfast, lunch or dinner! Long-fermented sourdough breads have been recommended for people who sometimes experience symptoms of non-celiac gluten sensitivities. The process of fermentation not only affects the texture and rise of the dough, but also works to break down the glutenous proteins and produces gut-friendly lactobacilli which promote healthy gastro-intestinal flora! Besides that, there is just nothing like the feeling of comfort, nourishment, and hearty nutrition given by an honest loaf of bread. Bread may be kept unwrapped, open-face-down on a cutting board, or you may choose to wrap it up, box it up or go ahead and eat it up JUST PLEASE DON'T KEEP IT IN THE FRIDGE. You may also decide to freeze the bread for a later time; that's great -- the bread freezes beautifully. There is nothing in "real bread" that needs to be refrigerated. In fact, tracking the nuanced flavor development over a number of days can be a wild adventure in itself. If you do take your time in eating off your loaf, it may need a refreshment in a couple of days. Slice a portion off, spritz it with a little water and warm it in your oven or a pan on open fire. ~2lb loaf of happiness Please note I have Bishop Breads hats and bread knives for sale in the clothing and home/garden sections here on the site.

Necessity is the Mother of Invention. I had some extra levain, so wanted to make something new. I looked around the house for inspiration, and voila, we now have my new favorite bread-- Maple Tahini Sourdough. Don't be deterred if you're having trouble imagining these ingredients in a bread. It tastes (and is!!) a sesame loaf, with a hit of the maple syrup to both encourage fermentation and enhance flavor. The tahini provides a warm nutty flavor with a beautifully soft interior. Topped with black and white sesame seeds. You'll have to give this one a try!
