About Galveston Bread
Galveston Bread Selections
I
started baking bread a quarter of a century
ago, using a recipe from a cookbook at the
bookstore where I worked.
 They
were “country loaves” made with milk and
butter and baked in loaf pans.
It took a
while but I eventually stumbled on a book
called Bread Alone. If you want to get a
serious understanding of why bread does what
it does, and how you can affect that
process, read the book. There are many
others but that is what started it all for
me.
Today I bake from a carefully nurtured
starter. I bake different breads using
different types of flour, winter and spring
wheat, whole wheat and rye.
I use only
organic flour from certified farms and
mills.
When you
open a bag of real flour, that hasn’t been
bleached with chlorine like so much of what
is sold today, you can smell the earth
waiting for you. I bake bread and
sometimes Cinnamon Rolls simply because I
like baking bread. I hope you will try
my breads. I will only sell something I
would serve to my family and my friends.
Although I
do not bake cakes or tortes or
Ladyfingers... my wife Helen does!
 The
right to bake and sell from home is part of
the Texas Cottage Food law, passed in 2011
and updated for this September, 2013.
There are
very specific ways that everything has to be
done .
I will be
happy to take your request but payment has
to be made at my house. After payment
delivery can be made, but probably limited
to the East End of Galveston Island unless
you are want a very large order and have
some lead time.
Bread is
Life!
