Breads, Focaccia & Scones

At The Dutch Epicure Bakery we specialize in three kinds of table breads: Sourdough, French and Old Fashioned.

Sourdough
In 1996, we produced our own active sour mash using organic black grapes, water and flour. After several weeks of “feedings” we were ready to produce own first breads. The following is a list and description.

Sourdough: A mix of sour mash, water, whole wheat flour , “green” high-gluten flour and salt.
Sourdough Siebenfelder : Sour mash, water “green” high-gluten flour, and a seven grain mix of rye, wheat, corn, oat, millet, sesame seed, sunflower seed and spelt.
Rosemary & Provencal Oil
Cheddar Basil
Kalamata Olive

French Breads

French bread and all of its variations is the simplest and most basic of all breads. First we make a “preferment” using water, flour, yeast and sugar. This preferment is then “retarded” or cooled overnight . The next morning the bread is finished with more water and flour and then a little rye sour and salt. This method, known as long fermentation, gives the bread time to develop its full “strength” and adds an incredible full flavor. The absence of fat in our French and sourdough breads help them develop a thin, crisp crust. From this one unique dough we produce our:

All of our French breads are produced daily Tuesday thru Saturday.

Old Fashioned Breads

These are the traditional loaf style breads or “sandwich” breads. They are also available as dinner rolls.

White: This is a rich soft bread made with flour, water, vegetable oil, eggs, sugar, yeast and salt.
Honey Wheat: A variation our the white. We make this with flour, whole wheat flour, vegetable oil, eggs, honey, yeast and salt.
Oatmeal: This bread is made from a rolled oat, water, sugar, vegetable and yeast mash. Then, it is finished with high-gluten flour, eggs and salt.
Molasses Oatmeal: Inviting oatmeal flavor with both blackstrap molasses and fancy molasses give this bread a rich color and an even richer taste.
Multigrain: 10 seeds and grains garnish both the inside and outside of this bread. Honey gives it a touch of sweetness and acts as a natural preservative. Buttermilk and brown rice give it a moist crumb.
Cinnamon Raisin Bread: This is not your average Cinnamon Raisin Bread. Our bread is made with Cabot butter and a hearty dredging of Vietnamese Cinnamon and cane sugar. This bread is great for toast or even French Toast! (Thursday, Friday & Saturday)
Cinnamon Swirl: Our bread is made with Cabot butter and a hearty dredging of Vietnamese Cinnamon and cane sugar. This bread borders on pastry and is our most recommended bread for the perfect French Toast. (Thursday, Friday & Saturday)
Chocolate Babka (seasonally or special order): This dessert bread is made with our Pain de Mei base with a generous amount of chocolate swirled through out. If you are looking for a tasty treat or a bread to spice up your morning routine, our chocolate babka bread is for you!
Challah (Fridays & Saturdays, or special order): This traditional Jewish bread is made with eggs, water, flour, yeast, and salt. It it then braided and topped with salt before baking.
Irish Soda Bread (Fridays & Saturdays): This bread is a rich “soda” raised dough. The dough is a blend of flour, buttermilk, butter, raisins, sugar, baking powder, baking soda and caraway seed. Gently developed and baked, it is a sweet bread resembling a large scone.
