Yesterday at the indoor farmers market at the Mercato, three young ladies were strolling by, and I started my usual spiel. “Hi, how are you today? Have you tried our breads before? We are Pleasanton Brick Oven Bakery from across the street. Today we are sampling our Parmesan Olive Herb bread if you are interested?”
They responded receptively, patiently and pleasantly. I continued on about how our naturally leavened bread differs from a bread made with bakers yeast. One of the girls spoke up,
“Yeah, I know all about it. My dad has 6 different starters.” I was like,
“Woah! Awesome!” She went on to tell me that her dad had one he captured in the UP. This made me smile. She said it had a woodsy flavor and I was in awe.
