 Yoshi's Log Stardate -299559.33 or July 23rd 2024


Inside 27'C and 59% Humidity

Outside 24'C and 65% Humidity


    Todays bake went flawlessly. We still haven't figured out a good name for the ovens and they continue to burn me when i drop my guard. 

    We got our new to us 20qt Hobart mixer (unnamed) that we will be able to increase the speed and/or volume of our production. We also placed our new display refrigeration unit in the entrance. The fridge will be used for dips and spreads that we will make in house and compound butters and tapenades and other things to go with bread. We are looking into some possible cold drinks and we have an electrician coming in this week to possibly install another plug so we can have coffee at the front entrance. 

    Next month we hope to have a Rye bread offering, but that wont start until we have our new routine down with the second mixer. We have an opportunity to offer a bread made with red fife flour from a small independent mill, but i wont say anything more about that. We have big plans and big dreams for the small space. Thank you everyone for the love, support and suggestions. 


Thank you and Be Good


Yoshi

 Rusty’s Log Stardate -299526.8 Perth, Ontario: temperature 23 C humidity 95% Basic Kneads: temperature 29 C humidity 65% Cheese and bread, two of my very favourite things. Today we took dough that was designated for baguettes and instead made cheese sticks, cheese buns and a knotted something or other that I will not repeat in the future. It was delicious and the last thing we baked, and it sold out in minutes after a timely social media post by Yoshi.  The black spots taunt us still, and we are working on some solutions to having a more even bake and avoiding the hotspots in our metal beasts. I am hopeful that rearranging of the pizza stones and a health healthy dose of cornmeal under the loaves will make tomorrow’s bake burn free. We are arranging a weekly pick up of spent grains from Corden and Cathy at Perth Brewery that we have been adding to our country loaf the last few days with great success.  Our evening mix is still the longest task of our day and by the time ...

 Rusty’s log  Stardate -299749.51 Perth Ontario: Temp 13.9 C Humidity 89% Basic Kneads: Temp 25.2 C Humidity 46% Another Monday morning. The sun is slowly rising outside our bakery window. Cars are rolling by and the display shelves are empty, waiting for another week to start. This coming week marks a milestone for Yoshi and I. July, August and September were dedicated to getting the bakery running and baking bread for the people of Perth. October is the beginning of baking for local businesses. This started last Saturday with our first delivery to Gather, a local lunch restaurant who ran a sandwich special with our bread. There were also baguettes delivered to Maximilian’s who we hope to supply with sliced pumpernickel and rye for sandwiches. 1827 Wine and Cheese Lounge will also be receiving baguettes daily for their charcuterie and cheese boards and croutons.  The summer tourists season is winding down, kids back at school and the expected slump in bread sales with le...
