Description
This is a celebration bread, so what’s to celebrate? How ’bout the coming of summer? Celebrating with outdoor feasts, chilled wine and copper sunset evenings. And friends and family around the picnic table! Good cheer and comfort! We’re moving forward! Do we really need a reason to celebrate? Yes! And here’s the bread for it!
It’s a Cranberry-Pecan Sourdough loaf with nutty pecan textures and soaked cranberries for colour and sweetness. Slice it open, and you’ll discover a purplish crumb created by tannins in the pecans and a trace amount of iron sulphate (from a vitamin tablet). Its soft crumb and dark crust are beautiful to look at, and you’ll enjoy the subtle sour tang of sourdough-leavened bread.
This Cranberry-Pecan Sourdough works well as buttered toast and would gladly accept honey as a companion. If you have leftover roast chicken in the fridge, put a few slices in a sandwich with this bread. Bacon, lettuce, chipotle mayonnaise!
This loaf contains Pender Island honey from Barry’s Bees.
