A delicious new fresh baked MKT bread is now available at the The Cheese Shoppe. Welcome our new fall favorite, the Struan (or Celtic Harvest bread)! Slightly sweet with yogurt and honey as ingredients. 😋Now that the hectic summer months have passed we return to some old favorites. Those of you who have been with us for a while may remember MKT’s take on bread guru, Peter Reinhart’s popular Struan (a.k.a. Celtic Harvest Bread).This is the bread that put Peter Reinhart and his bakery, Brother Juniper’s, on the map. He resurrected an old Scottish bread typically made for Michaelmas, the Feast of St. Michael the Archangel. St. Michael is the guardian of the harvest, so it makes sense that this bread is loaded with grains- oats, wheat, corn, and bran.Reinhart puts it this way: “Struan is not merely bread– it is bread that represents the essence of bread. In our everyday consumption of bread we tend to forget or lose sight of the reality of what bread is. So a bread ritual, a harvest fair, dedicated to the archangel of the harvest whose name means ‘like unto God,’ is a way to tune into this deeper reality.”This bread makes the best toast in the world. Sweetened with both a bit of dark brown sugar and honey it caramelizes beautifully. The grains hold moisture, so while the slices crisp up when toasted they also retain a moist sweetness. Untoasted it’s a great sandwich bread, and it freezes beautifully. What’s not to love? Look for small Struan loaves weekends at Sassafras Hill Farm farm shop, at Neptune Market, and now regularly year-round at The Cheese Shoppe in Surf City. ... See MoreSee Less
