The Bread is Better Than Ever
…thanks to Debbie for hosting Six Word Saturday https://travelwithintent.com/2024/06/08/old-radar-station-now-strikingly-decorated/?blogid=45569860&blogsub=subscribed#subscribe-blog
The premise is simple….come up with a title for a post using only six words.
For over a year now we’ve been back to bread baking at Montgomery’s Inn. It’s all run by volunteers. On Thursday three of us go in and warm up the outdoor oven for the next day’s bake and prepare four to five batches of bread dough. On Wednesday, five of us do a variety of jobs to get ready for the afternoon Farmers’ Market where the bread is sold. We make two batches of sour dough bread and sometimes focaccia, get fire started to heat up the oven, shape the bread, let it rise and then put it into the oven to bake.
All the money that is made from the sales goes back into buying more supplies and funding projects at the Inn.
More Trios From the Inn

If you have any trios to share I’d love to see them. Just copy my link from this post and paste it into your post. I’ll be sure to check it out.

…Montgomery’s Inn
In Like a Lamb…
…out like a lion?
They say that if March begins with beautiful, sunny, and mild weather it will surely go out like a lion. In this climate that usually means cold, wintery weather. Hard to imagine this happening because our winter has been more like a west coast winter with mild temperatures and rain. It would be a cruel gesture on Mother Nature’s part to end the month with a blast of winter.
Trios from the Inn
…after baking I scouted around Montgomery’s Inn looking for trios…I wasn’t disappointed
If you have trios you’d like to share, I’d love to see them. I’ll be sure to leave a comment. Just copy my link and paste it into your post. Have Fun!
Back to Baking
…after a six week hiatus I’m back at Montgomery’s Inn
The break from baking after Christmas was nice but I’m happy to be back at the Inn with my baking friends. On Tuesday we filled the industrial mixer with four different doughs and left them to proof overnight in the fridge. The next day the wood burning oven was fired up. We had a new shipment of wood delivered to the inn that week but unfortunately it was a bit wet and getting the oven to temperature was a bit of a challenge but in the end we managed. Two more batches of sour dough bread were prepped that morning and then we kneaded and shaped six different breads for the oven.
Our lead baker, Dale made a wonderful tourtière for our lunch and I made a big green salad.
After lunch we removed the first batch of bread from the oven and then loaded the second batch. We bake about 30 to 40 loaves at a time.
Once all the breads are baked we turn it over to our sales staff to sell the bread at the Farmers’ Market that same day. All the profits go to fund community projects at the Inn.
