Pretzel Sticky Buns!!!

   Hey gang!
  So, something that Colleen, our production manager has been working on is developing a line of unique, badass pastries for us.  One of her finest is the Pretzel Sticky Bun.  This guy is amazing.  It uses our pretzel dough as the base and is layered with European butter, organic currants and this great Saigon cinammon from our friends at Oaktown Spice Shop.  The whole thing gets dipped in lye, portioned and baked with this amazing caramel glaze and pecan mixture. Below is a link to a cool, quick video  of the process for you to checkout.  Why is "Welcome To The Jungle" the backing song for the video?  Because Axl is amazing, fact..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Okp4Y12NiE&feature=youtu.be

     Last Saturday at Whole Foods here in lovely Oakland they did a pop up for us with the sticky buns to see how they would sell in the store. Someone snatched up 6 in the first five minutes after seeing our facebook post about it.  How cool is that! We're doing one today, so head on down and grab one before they're all gone, they're only 4 bucks.  Thanks and have a good one!

Hey there, it's been awhile, huh!

   Well, we've been away from the blog for a bit.  Busy baking bread like crazy, doing lots of custom bread work for clients and working on creating some new tasty treats for our friends on goodeggs.com and the Kensington Farmers Market.
   After 5 long years of Firebrand we finally have a website up and running!  Crazy right?  Well, it's pretty badass, so you can check it out at www.firebrandartisanbreads.com.  We're going to be doing this blog thang much more regularly and throwing more cool pics of what we're up to on our facebook page, facebook.com/firebrandartisanbreads.  Thanks a ton and check back soon for some cool updates!
