🍞 A Little Note About Our Brown Breads 🍞

Here at Breathe Easy Homestead, my brown breads are not meant to be copies of one specific “traditional” regional brown bread.

There are many different kinds of brown bread depending on where you’re from. Some traditional versions are steamed, some use rye or cornmeal, some are soda breads, and others are yeast-raised molasses breads.

Mine are my own specialty creations — built around a soft, flavorful molasses brown bread and then developed into different varieties using Aggy, my beloved preferment. ❤️

That’s how breads such as our Cinnamon Brown Bread, darker specialty loaves, seasonal versions, and other Aggy creations came to be.

So when you see “Aggy’s Specialty Brown Bread” on my table, you’re not getting a reproduction of one particular historic recipe.

You’re getting a Breathe Easy Homestead recipe — inspired by old-fashioned brown bread, but made in my own kitchen, with my own methods, flavors, and a whole lot of experimenting along the way. 😊

I love taking an old idea and giving it a little Homestead personality.

Because around here, Aggy doesn’t always follow the rule book. 😂🍞❤️

🚨 ATTENTION, BREAD PEOPLE! 🚨

Aggy the Pirate has been busy, my kitchen looks like a flour bomb went off, and somehow I made it out the door with the goods. 😂🏴‍☠️🍞

So if your Saturday plans currently include “nothing exciting”… I can fix that. 😏

Come see me at the Polo Farmers Market TODAY!
I’ve got fresh homemade goodies from Breathe Easy Homestead, including those specialty breads that keep disappearing from my table. 👀

Come early, because apparently people have learned that “I’ll come back later” is a dangerous game when Aggy’s bread is involved. 🤣

☔ Rain? Pfffft. We’re under the pavilion!
🍞 Bread? YES.
🫖 Homestead goodies? YES.
😁 Slightly tired baker running on determination and probably crumbs? ALSO YES.

Come say hi, grab something delicious, and help me return home with fewer loaves than I arrived with. 😂❤️

🎃🍞 Aggy’s been experimenting again! 🍞🎃

And this time, she went full FALL. ❤️

Introducing our newest little experiment:

Aggy’s Pumpkin Hearth Brown Cinnamon Bread

Made with real pumpkin purée, molasses, apple juice, warm autumn spices, and of course our beloved Aggy preferment. Soft, hearty, gently spiced, and still very much a true brown bread—not a pumpkin cake in disguise! 😁

I'm making just 4 mini loaves for this first batch.

🎃 Mini Loaves — $6 each

If my taste-testers give this one their stamp of approval, you just might see it joining the fall lineup at Breathe Easy Homestead!

Because apparently Aggy and I cannot leave a perfectly good bread recipe alone. 😂🏴‍☠️🍞

Limited batch — only 4 available!
DM me if you’d like one. ❤️
