 Rusty's log stardate: -299960.81 Perth Ontario: Temp 5 C  humidity: 76% Basic Kneads: Temp: 24 C Humidity: 30% There are three questions I am asked several times everyday. They are: Do you have any Sourdough? Do you do anything gluten-free? and What time do you wake up in the morning?  So I thought I would tackle the first two quickly and digress with the third. Sourdough? Yes Please! Everyday we are making baguettes, country loaves and Euro loaves that use a sourdough starter. These loaves are NOT 100% sourdough as the starter makes up only 25% of the leavening agents. The taste is improved but the yeast does not break down the sugars in the same way that is necessary for diabetics and people with gluten intolerances to eat it. But fear not! Wednesdays we make a traditional 100% white sourdough, and Friday is Rye-Day, with a 100% sourdough rye. We bake them in 2 sizes and they sell out fast so its best to put your orders in in advance.  Gluten-free? Never hear...
