WILD YEAST, WHOLE GRAINS, FERMENTATION, owner and baker, Joshua Alaniz Former Grain Bakery blends one of the oldest food traditions of slow dough fermentation with the modern technique of high hydration and gentle handling. The breads are all sourdough based, containing only flour, water, and salt with all the whole grain being organic. Natural sourdough fermentation aids in digestibility, shelf life, and brings much more flavor than conventional yeasted bread. When it comes to sweet treats, he incorporates whole grains much like his breads in order to provide more flavor, slow digestion and fiber. Joshua wants all of his breads and cookies to be a highlight of every person’s day. He strives to produce a better product than any grocery store counterpart.
