Letās talk about some tips to cut a nice fresh sourdough loaf!
1. Get a good sharp serrated knife. Otherwise you will just shred the loaf as you attempt to cut it.
2. Make your first slice right across the middle
3. Take half of the loaf and turn it, cut side down on the cutting board, bottom crust upright facing you. Slice down.
4. The result is perfect slices that fit perfectly in the toaster!
5. Only slice the entire loaf if you plan to serve it all immediately, or if youāre planning to freeze it. Otherwise, the loaf will stay fresh longer if itās kept whole. This is the main reason we donāt pre-slice our loaves before we sell them.
6. Fresh loaves keep well on the counter for 3-4 days if stored in an airtight container or bag to keep them from drying out too quickly.
7. Enjoy!

My absolute favourite way to spend the morning after a big market! Production for a large market like makersnorth takes a lot of work and the pace of those markets is so fast that we donāt have time to blink! We are so incredibly grateful for everyone who came to see us at Makers North Collective Holiday Market yesterday, and thank you for your patience with all the lines. We know that many of you stood in a long line to get into the event, only to stand in another line to get your fresh sourdough treats.
Today, weāre having a nice slow morning with coffee, cozy blankets, a purring cat and Christmas lights. Sundays are rest days over here and weāre so grateful.
This week Iām solo in the bakery for the first half of the week as Chad heads out for some time away to hunt with friends! But have no fear, Iāve got this! Weāre planning for a great week ahead with deliveries to all our usual spots! If you recently found us through a special market, hereās a list of all the places you can find us during the week: https://www.hazelandrosemary.ca/locations
And as a reminder, weekly pre-orders are open until Monday at 4pm. Order through our website and pickup in Lively on Wednesday!

Weāve still got a couple holiday menu surprises coming down the pipes for you and this is one that Iām especially excited for. Both my grandma Rosemary and my Grandma Hazel made shortbread cookies each year for the holidays, until they couldnāt anymore. Each of their recipes are different, and now we carry on the tradition by making both versions each year for our family gatherings.
Weāve been wanting to make a sourdough shortbread cookie for a while, and things finally lined up for us to do some recipe development and testing. Weāre very proud to introduce our gourmet shortbread cookies to you! Made with organic grass-fed Ontario butter and organic kamut flour, these buttery shortbread cookies are perfect for that cup of afternoon tea or coffee. We put a twist on it and included some of our garden-grown rosemary and lemon zest which gives it a delicious fresh flavour! Pre-packaged in bags of 6, these are also a great gift option!
Weāre busy over here on this beautiful Friday, getting all of our loaves prepped for tomorrowās Makers North Collective Market at College Boreal!
Weāve got deliveries happening across the city too:
Seasons Pharmacy and Culinaria
Joyful Home
The Nickel Refillery Inc.
Beards Coffee Bar & Bakery
Adoro Olive Oils & Vinegars
We will NOT be at the Sudbury Market tomorrow, but we will be back next Saturday!

Our least favourite job in the bakeryā¦ Scraping baskets! A necessary part of the job, but definitely one that we put off as long as possible ! (Until we run out of proofing baskets š¤£) We probably own close to 300 of these baskets.
This job involves scraping out the buildup of flour, then scrubbing them in the sink before letting them air dry and then they all get piled back on the shelf, ready for the next round of dough!
