Your Day-Ly Bread

Griff begins his mornings at the bakery with a pot of coffee brewing and the baking list of what needs to be done for the day, which always includes mixing the bread doughs.

Scaling (i.e., measuring) the ingredients and prepping the big bread mixer for the first batch of dough are part of the daily ritual. I’m at the bakery by the time the mixer starts, and I hear the low whirring of the motor as it turns round and round. It takes only a short mix before Griff is dumping the dough into bins, hand-folding it, and then keeping a close eye on the proofing and the gentle rise that happens over time.
