Old World Baking

Old World baking at is about preserving the time-honored traditions of artisanal bread-making. It emphasizes the use of natural fermentation processes, locally sourced ingredients, and manual techniques like hand-kneading to produce bread with exceptional flavor and texture. This approach connects the modern baker with the rich heritage of traditional baking, ensuring that every loaf carries the depth and authenticity of Old World craftsmanship. By embracing these methods, Glorious Greens offer a unique and flavorful experience that celebrates the art of true artisanal baking.

  • Sourdough leavened

    We offer a variety of sourdough-leavened loaves and bakes. Each loaf goes through a nearly 24-hour ferment, which improves taste, and digestibility and lowers glycemic index too.

  • Local and regional flour

    Freshness: Local flour is typically milled in smaller batches and sold more quickly, ensuring it's fresher compared to commercial flour, which may have been sitting on store shelves for longer periods.

  • Nutrient-rich goodness

    The organically sourced flour we use retains the wheat kernel's nutrient-rich germ and bran, providing a wholesome dose of fiber, vitamins, and minerals in every bite.

  • Slow Milling Magic

    Stone-ground flour is milled at a slower pace, preserving the wheat's natural flavors and aromas. It's a patient process that yields unparalleled taste and texture.

  • Ancient Craftsmanship

    The ancient technique of stone milling ensures that the flour maintains its integrity, creating a flour that's as close to nature as it gets.

  • Distinctive Texture

    Experience the delightful texture that only stone-ground flour can bring to our sourdough goods. Crispy crusts and a chewy, flavorful interior—pure artisanal perfection!

Why Organic Matters: Choosing organic means supporting sustainable farming practices. Our commitment to organic sourcing ensures you receive superior taste and a product free from synthetic pesticides and harmful chemicals.

We also choose to purchase the flour we use and flour millers who take special care to source their grains locally. Local flour is often considered better than commercial flour for several reasons:

  1. Freshness: Local flour is typically milled in smaller batches and sold more quickly, ensuring it's fresher compared to commercial flour, which may have been sitting on store shelves for longer periods.
  2. Quality: Local flour often comes from smaller farms and mills where there's more attention to detail in the growing, harvesting, and milling processes. This can result in higher-quality flour with better flavor and nutritional value.
  3. Local flour supports local farmers and small businesses, contributing to the local economy and fostering a stronger sense of community.
  4. Environmental Impact: Buying local flour reduces the carbon footprint associated with transportation, as it doesn't have to travel long distances to reach consumers.

Overall, local flour offers a more personalized and often higher-quality alternative to commercial flour, while also supporting local communities and sustainable farming practices.
