FAQ

 How do I get my bread?
We have a new bread drop location. Once you preorder your items, pickup is on the designated day at The Florist in Chelsea, AL. You will receive an email on pickup day with times and address.

 

How do I freeze/thaw my yummy new bread?
Easy peasy. Wrap the room temp. bread in plastic wrap, if it will fit in a freezer bag throw it in there too. If not, just make sure it’s wrapped well. To thaw, simply leave it on the counter for a few hours or overnight. To refresh an artisan (crusty) loaf, run the thaw bread under the water not drenching but a nice wet coat, then place on parchment paper lined baking stone in 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes. Enjoy like it’s new!

How long does it stay fresh?
If you can keep from eating it all in a couple days, that’s better than me. But it is best the first 3 days. You can store in a breadbox, a paper bag with the ends folded or wrapped in a cloth. For best freshness, do not refrigerate.

Is sourdough really a miracle bread?
I believe so! Some of the health benefits include: excellent source of antioxidants which can lower risk of certain types of cancer and chronic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lowers the bread’s glycemic index, easier to digest and breaks down the gluten, nutrients more readily available. There are many articles you can read about sourdough health benefits.

Is this sourdough gluten free?
The flours that I use are NOT gluten free however the fermentation process in which I prepare my sourdough breads breaks down the gluten. It basically “pre-digests” the gluten and allows the nutrition to be more available. Please do your own research to see if this is something your body can handle. I have many customers, including myself, that are gluten sensitive and can enjoy these breads without complications. If you have been gluten free, I would suggest eating in moderation to not overload your body. If you have Celiac, you should NOT eat this.

Can you tell me about the sugars you use?
Yep, the sugars I use are either, maple syrup, honey, granulated sugar & brown sugar (will note these), plant based sugars such as stevia, organic cane & organic coconut sugar.
