When a new vendor shows up @thefrederickcitymarket with ice cream sandwiches you eat one. Even if it’s 10am.
The burnt butter pumpkin ice cream sammy was 💯🔥❤️. The home made ice cream definitely was a game changer. All the vendors agree @sweethollowbakery should definately join the crew!

It starts Friday night with flour pre-weights and ends with our Sunday morning bake. @thefrederickcitymarket is definitely one of our favorite days of the week. This weeks bake is looking extra nice. We will have all our normal players

The humble Olive Oil & Sesame Sourdough Sandwich Loaf.
If you visited us at the farmers market you have probably heard me mention that you should try it. Slowly it’s fan base has been building. Last market was the first market it sold out first. It may look basic next to the hearth loaves but if you peak in our bread box at home don’t be suprised if you find a Sammy Loaf in there. It’s a solid workhorse that makes a killer sandwich, grilled cheese or covered with @hippychickhummus and your favorite topping.
Up until now it has only been available at the sunday farmers market but rumor is there are a couple of loaves making an appearance at @neighbors.lbg on Saturday. Don’t sleep on it!

Hey everyone!
We have been working through the deets but now we are happy to make it public. We have partnered with @neighbors.lbg as a pick up location for our bread. Neighbors is a market dedicated to supporting local farmers, makers and artisans. You can imagine how stoked we are to support their mission.
We are also super proud to be sharing space shelf space with the Mid-Atlantic dark bake ambassador and all around artisan @le.gouterbread .
We are humbled to be welcomed into the fold with these folx. Neighbors has the most amazing produce and goods and Le Gouter Bread is 🔥🔥🔥.

Hey #Breaderick!
Guess what?
Wednesday means we are back in stock at @commonmarketcoop ! Fully stocked in both locations! Come and snag a loaf while you can!
Mondays and Tuesdays giving you the no bread blues? We get it! The good news is many customers slice our bread and freeze it and eat it all week. Take a slice out, pop it in the toaster and *poof*. Toasty hot goodness all week long!

If you are looking for some bread these beautiful loaves are at #commonmarketcoop right now! Fresh baked this morning and looking extra 🔥🔥🔥.

Baker Notes:
The weather has been perfect for the bakery lately. It’s a nice break from the high humidity which always poses a huge challenge. We are starting to settle into a rhythm with the new hearth stones. The finish and consistency’s really improving. We are still adjusting temps and times slightly but we are only making adjustments one or two degrees at a time now.

Just wanted to share a special thank you to all our customers and our partners @commonmarketcoop and @moonvalleyfarm .
We were able to invest in some upgraded hearth stones for the ovens.
To achieve the finish and consistency we want in our bread it took ALOT of work. These new stones make a huge impact. Without everyone’s support this wouldn’t have been possible!

Thank You from the whole #twinbearsbakery crew

Today’s quality control started like any other m

Today’s quality control started like any other morning. Me covered in flour, grabbing a just cooled loaf of bread, cutting it open, eating half the slice plain and half with butter. I take a picture of the crumb and compare to the few hundred other crumb pictures I have while tasting the bread.
Today’s Twin Bears bread I just what I have come to exapect from our bread, delicious crust,tender crumb and balanced flavor. Judging it by our standards this is an excellent loaf of bread.

But this loaf is different….

This is the first Twin Bears production loaf that was mixed, developed and shaped by someone other then me. And by our standards it’s perfect.
@jay_gets_baked thank you for bringing your passion, hard work and knowledge to share with us. We look forward to many more days when the bakery is filled with your passion for sourdough.

Good Morning #Breaderick Stuff is moving along ni

Good Morning #Breaderick
Stuff is moving along nicely in the bakery this morning and the @thefrederickcitymarket menu looks STACKED!
I don’t even know where to begin…
-The Classic Country now has our in-house milled wholemeal flour! 😳
-The Sandwich loaf for this week is olive oil & seasame built with Appalachian White wheat. The tender crumb and sesame crust makes this weeks tin loaf 💯
-We are bringing some of our newest signature loaf The Real! It is built using 100% wholemeal flour we milled in-house 😱🤯 . With flour milled just yesterday this loaf is packed with flavor and nutrition. We are really excited to share this new loaf with our bread family.
- And of course we will be rocking the Moroccan Lemon and Rosemary!

Market is from 9-1pm
See you there!

A big special thank you to the #plentymagazine tea

A big special thank you to the #plentymagazine team for featuring our article on the cover of their magazine. The article touches on a brief history of the relationship between grain farmers and bakers. In the article we also talk about our history with @migrashfarm and how that relationship shaped who we are as bakers. Let us know if you would like a copy!

Hi Everyone!
We are super happy to announce that our bread is now available @commonmarketcoop . 🎉🙌🏽🤝
Still baked fresh,still made with the freshest local wheat we can find and still made by hand! The whole team at the Co-op has been wonderful to work with. This has been in the works for awhile and I am so glad we can finally share it publicly.
A few deets:
Bread is delivered daily Wednesday-Sunday. We will have The Single Origin and The Classic available for purchase. TWO sizes will be available (yay!) A family size and a petite size.
It has been a remarkable journey that has brought us to this point and we are so excited to share our passion for baking and local grains with more people in our community.
I feel like our bread family just grew 10x !

Our Sourdough Sandwhich loaf has not been getting

Our Sourdough Sandwhich loaf has not been getting enough love on social media. Always on standby to be the backbone of some awesome French Toast, grilled cheese, PB&J or pretty much anything else you can dream up. The crust is light and the crumb is pillowy and soft. This current version has a heavy dose of Appalachian White wheat from @migrashfarm. This wheat definately brings a layer of sweetness to the mix. We bake plenty of this workhorse so chances are you can grab a loaf at @thefrederickcitymarket . You should still get there early because the early bird gets the loaves, ya know?

Pre-orders are live for @thefrederickcitymarket!!!
Really excited to share some of the fresh harvests from @migrashfarm . Appalachian White Wheat is a sweet and tasty wheat that gives the bread a wonderful flavor. We have really been enjoying everything that we have been making while we have been testing it for the past few weeks.
Don’t sleep on the Flax & Sunflower loaf. We are featuring our fresh milled flour using grains locally grown wheat. The fresh ground whole meal flour gives this loaf a great flavor.
And yes, we will definatey have more Focaccia! But get there quick, stuff usually sells pretty quick!

Really excited for the return of this one! For our Travelers Bread special for the next two weeks:
Sunflower & Flax!
Both sunflower and flax have a deep history with humans. Sunflower is a great food producer and its long tap roots pull nutrients from deep in the soil where most annuals can’t reach. Flax not only produces and delicious and healthy seed and also it’s fibers can be spun into strong threads. This is definately one of my favorite seed breads.
We are very excited to be using #Twinbearsbakery milled flour in this loaf. The freshly milled whole meal flour adds a wonderful and complex wheat flavor.
We think you will enjoy this hearty and delicious loaf!

❤️🥖❤️

Baking is full of small victories. Early on you hi

Baking is full of small victories. Early on you hit a number of major milestones then it’s a path full of tiny improvements. Today we hit a MAJOR milestone. Pictures here is our first loaf made with flour that was milled in our bakery by us. We have been quietly testing our mill and learning the process for about a month now. We are now producing a flour that is performing very well. The smell and flavor of the bread made with fresh milled whole wheat is unreal. You will begin to see loaves available with Twin Bears milled whole wheat soon!
Special thank you to Russell at @motzi.bread for the guidance and support as we figured this next chapter out.
