Farm House Breads

Farm house breads are made with all local/NYS flour, have added yeast and are baked in a 8x4 bread pan. (unless otherwise described) Prices and availability are subject to change, inquire at macera44@live.com for the most to date information. A three day request would be greatly appreciated!


7 Grain WW Molasses  1# $6.00  This is a hearty loaf with a 50/50 blend. Bring the best of All-purpose and wheat together. Then add in the crunch and nutritional factor of  7 grains and kiss it with a slightly dark & smoky sweetness from the molasses, well lets just say : ham, Swiss cheese and mustard never had it so good!!

Black Bean Raisin   1# $5.00  Black Beans are slowly cooked in a cast iron pot, then pureed for this loaf. The nutritional value is increased with the use of the cooking liquids and a blend of 50/50 wheat flour and all- purpose. This is a moist dense loaf with a hint of sweetness from the raisins.

Brioche  1.5# $7.00 This loaf once again highlights the use of local ingredients from the farm fresh free range eggs to the raw local honey to the local butter. Each component of this loaf changes seasonal, which is highlighted in the color of the slice, which can range from a light golden yellow to a deeper golden color, based on the season of the eggs, honey and butter.

Cinnamon Honey Wheat Raisin  1.5# $8.00 Again the use of local honey in this loaf brings just enough sweetness, to this 70/30 loaf (70% bread flour/30% ww flour). Loaded with just enough raisins for that perfect balance of nutty ww and sweetness.

Colonial Oat   $5.00 This loaf is a staple loaf like no other in my line up. A beautiful blend of local bread flour , wheat flour and oats. This is a 60%/20%/20% loaf, that as its name shows, has been around for good bit of time. With the slightest addition of brown sugar (just a 1/4 c or so) a wonderful hint of a caramel brings out the local honey flavor. (this is loaf that has always been done by hand, as it produces 6 -1.5# loaves per batch, I love making this bread!)

English Muffin Bread  $5.00 This is my husband all time favorite bread! Toasted and buttered or jammed, this bread has all those nooks/crannies of a English muffin. A definite hands down best loaf for grilled cheese! This is a 100% bread flour loaf, with barest of bare use of honey, for feeding the yeast.

  Ethiopian Spiced Honey  $13.00 2# or $7.00 1#

Pictured is a special order loaf, that came in around 3#. A great addition to a table for some wow factor and flavor!

But no mater what size, this bread offers a flavorful blend of how local flours, raw honey and Coriander, Cinnamon and Clove can play on your palette well.





Finnish Pulla   $8.00 2# or $5.00 #1 This is another beautiful braided loaf. This is a cross between a Brioche and a Challah texture loaf, that I learned from my friend from...right Finland! This is a sweet bread, that uses one of my favorite spices, Cardamom. French toast, bread pudding, chicken salad sandwich, croutons, bread crumbs (used on top of a winter squash gratin...a must try) or grilled, then add some soft goat cheese, fig jam and prosciutto, you have a great appetizer.

Focaccia Rosemary  $6.00 This Italian bread, I learned how to make from friends Grandmother, who at the time was in her 80's, still working with hands to produce some of the best Focaccia I have ever had, even to this day. (not to mention all the other breads, pasta and pastries!) This when I learned about "00" flour. This is a 13x9 loaf, that can be used for Panini's, croutons, grilled etc. This a crispy exterior that highlights the olive oil used, with a soft chewy middle. Fresh rosemary studded through out and again on top with a generous sprinkle of Celtic Gray salt. 

Focaccia Rosemary Orange Currant  $8.00 Same as above, but with the addition of orange zest and currants. I love this one for when I make a panzanella salad...just yum!

Honey WW 7 Grain   $6.00 This is a  hearty 60/40 loaf of wheat bread that offers a little extra crunch from the 7 grain and sweetened with just enough honey to keep this light and moist. I love this bread with some sliced corned beef, Swiss and a generous smear of a good, whole grain beer mustard!

Rosca  $4.00 This is a loaf that really shows why using the best local flours, is best. A few simple ingredients, flour, water, salt, yeast and cloves will have you relaxing with a strong cup of coffee mid morning. My friend from Turkey turned me on to this bread, after I said I was not a fan of clove. This is a round loaf, that is sprinkle with toasted sesame. I love this on a brunch table, to break of chunks and share!

WW English Muffin Loaf w/Currants   $5.00 This also features nooks/crannies as the regular English Muffin loaf, but brings in some earthiness from the ww flour and just a hint of sweetness from the currants.
