blends

BREAD TRINITY

house blend of wholegrain wheat flours ideal for long fermentation sourdough breads. Ever evolving according to the season and grain qualities. We have crafted the Bread Trinity for use in our wheat sourdough breads where it lends a silky texture, great gluten forming strength, and a nuanced balanced flavor of cinnamon, honey and gentle butter sweetness. Mix with equal parts of your favorite bread flour for a light, airy sourdough loaf with a rustic edge or use alone for a robust wheat forward loaf. all flours certified organic. 1 kg

TORTILLA TRINITY

house blend of wholegrain wheat flours and roller milled all purpose flour. Similar in many qualities to the bread trinity, this blend has been crafted specifically with tortilla-making in mind and features a generous amount of White Sonoran, a soft heirloom wheat flour grown in the southwest since the 16th/17th century. We have mixed our house milled wholegrain flours with roller milled flours from Central Milling in Utah for a blend that is ready to be mixed as the flour portion into your favorite tortilla dough recipe. Wholegrain flours are thirsty so we recommend starting with a 62% hydration and adjusting as you see fit. all flours certified organic. 1 kg

bread takes time and hands and we are afterall a rather small bakery with limited production capactiy. each week we tailor a well fit selection from our menu to bring to the bread table according to the season, production space, and a generous touch of whim.

our breads and pastries are home produced under the NM Homemade Food Act and are exempt from state licensing and inspection. may contain allergens.

we anticipate opening our new bakery & cafe on Montezuma Ave in late Spring / early Summer of 2026.
