Happy New Year! The Spring 2022 cycle of Ferment’s Bread CSA will begin this coming Monday, January 10, and run for four months (Jan 10-Feb 4; Feb 7-Mar 4; Mar 7-Apr 1; Apr 4-29) with the strong possibility of adding a fifth month (May 2-27). The baking schedule for January picks up with last year’s newest addition: a 50/50 loaf of Yecora Roja – a variety of hard red spring wheat that was developed by the International Maize & Wheat Improvement Center in cooperation with the Mexican ministry of Agriculture in Mexico in the 1960s, gained a foothold in northern California in the 1970s, and has since become a favorite of West Coast artisanal sourdough bakers – that stands out for its lightweight, buttery smooth flavor. Week two’s rye breads will feature a portion home-milled flours for the first time (Christmas comes with unexpected gifts for the home baker!) before the tried and true Ferment staples return in the weeks three and four.
