This post was supposed to be up and running by the end of September but apparently strange incidences like my laptop & cellphone charger giving out which was stressful, but everything is in its place now.
This is to feature the amazing SF based vegan & allergen friendly bakery Bread SRSLY. In May I attended a Celiac Convention and first tried the bread there & bought some on the spot. For those with allergies to wheat & gluten – or really anyone whose tried gluten free baked goods, know that its usually a hit or miss and can lack the taste of “real bread” //embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js
Case in point this company started by a gal named Sadie Scheffer in efforts to create actual artisanal bread that was devoid of allergens & while also being vegan, she dug deep in the art of bread-making which led to fermenting! Thats right these baked goods are actually made with bacteria, as in wild yeast which: “helps to break down the grains, making them easier to digest, and adding a pleasant tang that we call sourdough” The company uses organic ingredients, sustainable packaging and all handmade in a dedicated facility that does not use wheat or gluten anywhere nearby
Blackberries are a October seasonal fruit, while this recipe used nectarines go with peaches if you want to stick to a seasonal fruit. Its a perfect Fall bite that is filling because these breads feature: Organic White Rice Flour, Millet Flour, Sorghum Flour making them nutritionally dense & devoid of fillers. the bread is best toasted in the oven, although I am sure a toaster would also be nice. I came up with two recipes one that is sweet, like this one – & a savory one that will be up soon.

Blackberry + Lemon Preserve + Nectarine on Sourdough Toast
a couple of slices of the classic sourdough loaf
drizzle of coconut oil
blackberries
1 sliced nectarine or peaches
raw honey or vegan honey
Rigoni di Asiago Organic Lemon spread
optional:
Heidi Ho Ne Chèvre Black Lava
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
- Slice, best in room temperature and using a quality knife, several pieces of the sourdough
- Drizzle the slices with coconut oil, about a tablespoon
- Add blackberries, I added about three plump ones or 4 mini ones
- Add your sliced nectarines
- Lightly drizzle the tops with either honey or vegan honey
- Place your toasts on parchment paper and a cookie sheet, inside the oven for about 10-15 minutes depending on how crispy you’d like your toast to be
optional/
This is a sweet toast but I recommend and had it with a dollop of Heidi Ho Ne Chèvre Black Lava and it is so amazing.
You can replace the stone fruit with apples or even persimmon

This bread sounds amaziing! I've missed sourdough bread so much. I'll have to check out this company. Love the idea of the toppings of the peaches/nectarines and blackberries btw.
