Bread news

Thanks for the heads-up. Great news.

From their Facebook page, they offer the Roadhouse bread, which is excellent with its hint of molasses flavor.

Zingerman's bakes some breads only a couple days a week. So two of my favorites French Mountain and Westwind probably won't be available at Earth to Oven Bakery. But if they have Farm Bread, Roadhouse, and some others, that's great.

I wonder if the store owner is making the trip to Ann Arbor to get the bread. Zingerman's stopped delivering bread to the Toledo market in the summer of 2008. That caused me to take bread-baking classes at Zingerman's, so I assume that it was a conspiracy.

I still think that a bread bakery that focused on a few naturally-leavened sourdough breads would function well in Toledo. It would sell to walk-in customers but also to restaurants, markets, etc. And maybe deliver to places south and east of Toledo.

We like Zingerman's, but one of my favorite places to visit in this region is Avalon bread bakery, located in Detroit near Wayne State University.

Anyway, kudos to Earth to Oven Bakery.
