My flour stock is dwindling, the shelves are clearing out of ingredients and I am starting to wonder how I will handle not baking bread for three month. This is the last CSB share before summer break. We will be around for another month before taking off, which still leaves time to place a special order for bread to freeze for the summer. The minimum order is four loaves per flavor. If this is something you are interested in, please contact me before the end of this week. Also, I am planning to have a little Bread Stand at Latte Da Saturday June 14th. I will send an email with more information closer to the day.

In case you would like to try your own hand at baking sourdough bread this summer, I would be  happy to pass on some starter to you. Let me know! It is a fun and rewarding process and you can be part of keeping it alive. I will take  some of my starter with me again this year but most likely I will only have time to bake a few loaves at my parents house before we depart for Switzerland and then it will get carried around from one town to another. But leaving all of it behind doesn't seem right, what if I find a little place with a wood fired oven that would let me bake some loaves? I would be sad if I couldn’t start a batch of dough right then. So in my bag it goes!

Thank you so much for supporting STELLA Bakery and the Mono Basin CSB!!! I hope to see some of you at the bread stand or around town before I leave, but if I don’t see you before then, have a wonderful summer!!
