This is a long one....
Excited to find this humble yet amazing "micro-bakery" in small town Snohomish. Don't undermine this small food truck size business they are pretty mighty imo! They put out THE MOST NUTRITIOUS and DELICIOUS sourdough breads in times when nutritious food is harder to find in typical grocery stores. Katya is passionate about producing the BEST bread and pastries starting from grounds up with purchasing local organic non gmo whole grain flour, milling grain in house (retaining nutritious components) and with utmost care transforming them into perfect loaves with her tried and true methods with her background in medical research. Her sourdough reigns supreme imo. So fresh, so substantial without making my hubby and I feel sluggish afterwards. Even better is the perfect flavor and texture. Her brownish sour dough is truly special!
It was easy to pre-order online, then pick up at the Snohomish farmer's market on Thursdays during the summer months. I believe on other months her bakery truck is stationed at the Snohomish co-op parking lot. They take cards. Picking up bread at her place reminds me of going to open markets like people in Asia and Europe. Just a cool and more healthy concept of eating locally grown organic products for our health and well being.
So far, we enjoyed the European whole grain rustic loaf ($12). It is a good base for amazing avocado toast. It's a good quality dense bread that sticks to your ribs. One slice is all that's needed for breakfast or open face sandwich. Love the rustic crunch after it's toasted! The $8 smaller raisin walnut sourdough would make a good dessert/ snack toast. We would top it with olive oil/butter and honey/peanut butter. One bite and I thought to myself, who needs ice cream?
The fancier loaves are $14. A bit more spendy but sooo worth it!!
We also got the Einkhorn whole grain sourdough too. ($12). Can't wait to try that one next. We may branch out to more like the new cheddar and chives sourdough and the one with jalepeno. She offers classes on how to make it as well. Thanks Dubuque Bakery for going the extra mile for making bread the way it should be. No additives, no stripping of its best parts and your tricks to maximize flavor. I can see now why people were so into learning how to make sourdough bread during COVID times. All your thoughtful processes shine through it was truly an enjoyable experience! Everyone should be eating this "perfect" bread! read more
