Phil’s Legacy Bread Blend

$12.35 – $122.50

In homage to my friend and mentor Phil Turner, who taught me the art and science of sourdough. We would talk for hours in his kitchen about local flour, local business, sharp knives, regenerative agriculture, sustainability, and the importance of community… just as the “community” of microbes would work their way through the dough kneaded with the fresh milled flour I had brought. I think this flour, milled from a blend of Joaquin Oro, a wheat bred specifically for our California climate, and Abruzzi Rye, a heritage Italian rye also grown right here in our region, would be one Phil would be proud of.

Check out our Phil’s Sour Sam video on our home page, or on our recipe page, for the recipe. Also fantastic for cookies!

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Early Bird Pioneer White or Cali Gold Cornmeal
  • 1/4 cup  Early Bird Pioneer White or Cali Gold Grits
  • 2 1/2 cups cups water
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 cup half and half

Notes

Indulge in the rustic charm of Early Bird Spoonbread, a delightful Southern classic infused with wholesome goodness. This comforting dish elevates traditional spoonbread by marrying the hearty flavors of cornmeal and grits from the nearby local flour mill with the sweetness of freshly harvested local corn. The result is a velvety, custard-like texture that embraces the essence of whole grains. Elevate your breakfast or dinner table with this harmonious blend of tradition and locality, as each spoonful transports you to a simpler, more flavorful time.
