I really should have taken pictures! You'll have to trust me. Words cannot describe the magnetic effect it had just seeing the table full of breads.
Slow Rise is a small, home-based business which is licensed to sell his beautiful but limited choices of bread and cookies/treats. We discovered the tall, young owner poised under his own pop-up at the tiny Sunday Farmers Market in the small community of Canyon Lakes (not too far east from Lake Elsinore).
While he did not offer samples, his main attraction was his huge, gorgeous loaves of sourdough bread. Besides plain, there were flavored loaves. The one we chose was called peach sourdough and had cinnamon-spiced peaches baked into the dough. Once home, a nice thick slice of that went into our toaster, then buttered, for a complete decadent experience. It was a moist, beautifully textured, tender sourdough that made me giddy. If I closed my eyes, I thought it was more like a cinnamon roll or coffeecake, but not as sweet. Elegant. He also offered a Rosemary sourdough that I had to resist this time around. He had other savory flavors but I cannot recall at this moment, having been too severely seduced by the peach version.
I have no doubt you will be as pleased and excited as I am if you patronize this business. Go for it! read more
