Our Edible Schoolyard loaf is an irregular and whimsically-shaped loaf. The shape arose completely by accident in the development process. We developed the bread with Alice Waters of Chez Panisse to pay homage to her Edible Schoolyard project at King Middle School in Berkeley. The challenge was to make a 100% Whole Grain bread that was soft and a little sweet, so that kids would love it. 92% of the whole wheat flour in the Edible Schoolyard loaf comes from locally sourced and/or Organic wheat flour, which is unusual since California is not a state where wheat is still grown in great amounts. The remaining 8% is Organic pumpernickel meal. We use honey to sweeten and moisten the loaf.
Suggested Uses: This loaf is excellent as table bread and as toast with jam and butter. It goes very well with salads, is excellent with cheeses, and makes a hearty, moist, sandwich.
