The bread

Three loaves. One starter. Started Sunday.

A country sourdough, a multigrain with toasted seeds, and a soft milk bun. We bake roughly what we'll need that day. The number chalked on the door is how many sandwiches we have left.

We sell half-loaves to take home from the bake counter, while they last.
