We’ve proven that we can grow a lot of corn, and we’ve proven that we can do really amazing things with increasing yield. But that’s not what it’s about. We need to grow food that has minimal impact on the environment--that’s probably not compatible with thinking that yield is the most important thing.

After it was launched in 2013 at the Campbell market, the Manresa booth would already have a line of customers before the farmers' market even opened waiting to snatch up her creations, which would be sold out in a couple of hours. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's easy to see why. Choices included lusciously rich, deeply flavored chocolate brioche (like chocolate-on-chocolate cupcakes but a zillion times better), super-crusty, unusual breads like buckwheat cherry and polenta sourdough, seedy epi baguettes (\"people love them to an insane and shocking amount,\" states a bemused Ruzicka) and a revolving selection of other enticements. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One customer in line last year pretty much summed up the attitude: “The bread is addictive.

It started producing edibles on December 31 to support the New Years Eve reopening of the restaurant after a devastating fire last summer. Compared to the lengthy period when she scrounged space and ingredients in the Manresa kitchen in the early morning hours after the restaurant closed, this is baking heaven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spacious facility features temperature-controlled proofing and holding rooms, lavishly large areas for mixing and shaping and a 19,000-pound Italian oven that can bake 100 loaves at once. The baking crew produces all the bread for the restaurant -- levains, baguettes, brioche and a nut bread for cheese service -- and still sells products at two or so farmers' markets.

Photo: Susan Hathaway\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Given the evidence so far, ManresaBread seems to have created its own niche -- one that doesn't track other bakeries. \"We don't want to do 10 different kinds of scones or cookies,\" she explains. \"None of us are super excited about doing cakes. Or eclairs or cupcakes. We're more interested in flavor; slightly more rustic. Well, not rustic, but we're not going to put gold leaf on anything anytime soon.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her ingredient- and technique-driven products will get a boost from an Austrian grain mill that was just purchased. She's searching for local organic grain sources -- not easy to find, alas -- and hopes to use milled-in-house flour for the restaurant's bread and will also start making crackers with this flour as well. \"It's a good showcase for a really wonderful flavor,\" she says about crackers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other organic flour will also be utilized in the bakery. Like some other artisan bakeries in the Bay Area, ManresaBread had been using \u003ca href=\"http://giustos.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Guisto's\u003c/a> flour but Ruzicka's obsessive quality standards led her to a better option. \u003ca href=\"http://www.camascountrymill.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Camas Country Mill\u003c/a> in Oregon works with select growers to produce flours with superb properties. \"It goes directly from farmer to mill,\" she explains. \"I'm really happy with that flour.\" It enables longer fermentations, which translate to deeper flavors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_93103\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/02/pastries.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/02/pastries.jpg\" alt='Recent creations include a luscious hazelnut tea cake (front) with a dab of ganache and irresistible \"monkey bread.\" Photo: Susan Hathaway' width=\"1000\" height=\"1508\" class=\"size-full wp-image-93103\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/02/pastries.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/02/pastries-400x603.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/02/pastries-800x1206.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/02/pastries-768x1158.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/02/pastries-320x483.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Recent creations include a luscious hazelnut tea cake (front) with a dab of ganache and irresistible \"monkey bread.\" Photo: Susan Hathaway\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Her breads, which rely on in-house starters, are super crusty, have excellent hole patterns and feature multi-dimensional tastes. But ManresaBread also offers temptations in the pastry realm, particularly \"\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminated_dough\" target=\"_blank\">laminated\u003c/a>\" pastries, which is the professional term for the butter-layered puff-pastry doughs used for items like croissants and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kouign-amann\" target=\"_blank\">kouign-amann\u003c/a>. Naturally, Ruzicka uses low-moisture French butter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In current production, for example, are savory puff-pastry tarts with onion and Gruyère cheese, a caramelized apple tart with cream cheese filling and super-delicious \"monkey bread,\" which is croissant dough tossed with cinnamon and sugar with a buttery molasses schmear. \"The outside caramelizes and they're really, really good,\" explains Ruzicka.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a fine description for another recent creation, little individual tea cakes rich with hazelnuts that have a generous dot of chocolate ganache in the middle. The bakers also have a way with brioche, from an orange-with-chocolate version to a savory variety featuring grain mustard, ham and Gouda cheese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_93098\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/02/almost-open.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/02/almost-open.jpg\" alt=\"Final construction is taking place at the retail store a short walk from Manresa restaurant, which will feature take-out bread, pastries and coffee.

The much-heralded Manresa Bread Project has graduated from a mere experiment as the Michelin two-star restaurant launches its first spinoff, \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/manresabread\" target=\"_blank\">ManresaBread\u003c/a>, just a short stroll from respected chef \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Kinch\" target=\"_blank\">David Kinch\u003c/a>'s \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manresa_%28restaurant%29\" target=\"_blank\">mothership\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You spoiled denizens of San Francisco and the East Bay have so many great starch purveyors to choose from -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.tartinebakery.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Tartine\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.dellafattoria.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Della Fattoria\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.firebrandartisanbreads.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Firebrand\u003c/a>, La \u003ca href=\"http://www.lafarine.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Farine\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://bpatisserie.com/\" target=\"_blank\">b. patisserie\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.craftsman-wolves.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Craftsman and Wolves\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://neighborsf.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Neighbor Bakehouse\u003c/a>; oh, the list could go on and on.

But her bakery isn't competing with existing baked-goods enterprises in the area.

After it was launched in 2013 at the Campbell market, the Manresa booth would already have a line of customers before the farmers' market even opened waiting to snatch up her creations, which would be sold out in a couple of hours. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's easy to see why. Choices included lusciously rich, deeply flavored chocolate brioche (like chocolate-on-chocolate cupcakes but a zillion times better), super-crusty, unusual breads like buckwheat cherry and polenta sourdough, seedy epi baguettes (\"people love them to an insane and shocking amount,\" states a bemused Ruzicka) and a revolving selection of other enticements. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One customer in line last year pretty much summed up the attitude: “The bread is addictive.

It started producing edibles on December 31 to support the New Years Eve reopening of the restaurant after a devastating fire last summer. Compared to the lengthy period when she scrounged space and ingredients in the Manresa kitchen in the early morning hours after the restaurant closed, this is baking heaven.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The spacious facility features temperature-controlled proofing and holding rooms, lavishly large areas for mixing and shaping and a 19,000-pound Italian oven that can bake 100 loaves at once. The baking crew produces all the bread for the restaurant -- levains, baguettes, brioche and a nut bread for cheese service -- and still sells products at two or so farmers' markets.

Photo: Susan Hathaway\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Given the evidence so far, ManresaBread seems to have created its own niche -- one that doesn't track other bakeries. \"We don't want to do 10 different kinds of scones or cookies,\" she explains. \"None of us are super excited about doing cakes. Or eclairs or cupcakes. We're more interested in flavor; slightly more rustic. Well, not rustic, but we're not going to put gold leaf on anything anytime soon.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her ingredient- and technique-driven products will get a boost from an Austrian grain mill that was just purchased. She's searching for local organic grain sources -- not easy to find, alas -- and hopes to use milled-in-house flour for the restaurant's bread and will also start making crackers with this flour as well. \"It's a good showcase for a really wonderful flavor,\" she says about crackers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other organic flour will also be utilized in the bakery. Like some other artisan bakeries in the Bay Area, ManresaBread had been using \u003ca href=\"http://giustos.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Guisto's\u003c/a> flour but Ruzicka's obsessive quality standards led her to a better option. \u003ca href=\"http://www.camascountrymill.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Camas Country Mill\u003c/a> in Oregon works with select growers to produce flours with superb properties. \"It goes directly from farmer to mill,\" she explains. \"I'm really happy with that flour.\" It enables longer fermentations, which translate to deeper flavors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_93103\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/02/pastries.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/02/pastries.jpg\" alt='Recent creations include a luscious hazelnut tea cake (front) with a dab of ganache and irresistible \"monkey bread.\" Photo: Susan Hathaway' width=\"1000\" height=\"1508\" class=\"size-full wp-image-93103\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/02/pastries.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/02/pastries-400x603.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/02/pastries-800x1206.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/02/pastries-768x1158.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/02/pastries-320x483.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Recent creations include a luscious hazelnut tea cake (front) with a dab of ganache and irresistible \"monkey bread.\" Photo: Susan Hathaway\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Her breads, which rely on in-house starters, are super crusty, have excellent hole patterns and feature multi-dimensional tastes. But ManresaBread also offers temptations in the pastry realm, particularly \"\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laminated_dough\" target=\"_blank\">laminated\u003c/a>\" pastries, which is the professional term for the butter-layered puff-pastry doughs used for items like croissants and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kouign-amann\" target=\"_blank\">kouign-amann\u003c/a>. Naturally, Ruzicka uses low-moisture French butter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In current production, for example, are savory puff-pastry tarts with onion and Gruyère cheese, a caramelized apple tart with cream cheese filling and super-delicious \"monkey bread,\" which is croissant dough tossed with cinnamon and sugar with a buttery molasses schmear. \"The outside caramelizes and they're really, really good,\" explains Ruzicka.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is a fine description for another recent creation, little individual tea cakes rich with hazelnuts that have a generous dot of chocolate ganache in the middle. The bakers also have a way with brioche, from an orange-with-chocolate version to a savory variety featuring grain mustard, ham and Gouda cheese.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_93098\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/02/almost-open.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/02/almost-open.jpg\" alt=\"Final construction is taking place at the retail store a short walk from Manresa restaurant, which will feature take-out bread, pastries and coffee.

Today's orange and chocolate brioche will become chocolate and eventually strawberry brioche after citrus season is over. Fortunately, \"we definitely don't have customers coming up and saying, you should make a cupcake or a coconut layer cake,\" laughs Ruzicka when discussing customer response to her bakery's seldom-seen creations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The soon-to-open retail store near the restaurant will offer take-out bakery items and coffee only.

Too many burger joints, too many Indian spots, an excess of Thai places, an extra, unneeded Caribbean eatery and, particularly, a huge overabundance of Italian and pizza joints all competing in a somewhat small downtown led to fallout and turnover in recent years.

People go out at night. They drink wine,\" he says. \"I've always felt there was an energy here.\" Nevertheless, employing the high standards of an ambitious professional chef, Bienaimé also believes that \"there are a lot of bad restaurants.

Instead, I reach for almond milk to add to cereal and tea in the morning. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since becoming the darling of the non-dairy milk category, almond milk’s shares on grocery store shelves have skyrocketed. Yet this profusion of products has done nothing for their quality. Most almond milks are full of stabilizers, preservatives, and sweeteners. Even the unsweetened bottles in the refrigerator section contain the likes of gellan gum, carrageenan, sunflower lecithin, and natural flavors. They’re less milk than chemistry experiments. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s the solution? Make almond (and pistachio and pecan and sunflower seed) milk at home. Depending on the price of the nuts, it costs about the same, or even a little less, than the premium brands of almond milk, and the quality is far better. Plus, homemade almond milk is just about the easiest DIY kitchen project you can take on. I often talk about how easy many of these projects are, but almond milk is by far the simplest. All you need to do is soak, blend, and drain.

Vegetable soups suddenly become my favorite dinner. And my usual dairy-heavy breakfast just doesn’t seem as appealing as it did a few months ago. Instead, I reach for almond milk to add to cereal and tea in the morning. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since becoming the darling of the non-dairy milk category, almond milk’s shares on grocery store shelves have skyrocketed. Yet this profusion of products has done nothing for their quality. Most almond milks are full of stabilizers, preservatives, and sweeteners. Even the unsweetened bottles in the refrigerator section contain the likes of gellan gum, carrageenan, sunflower lecithin, and natural flavors. They’re less milk than chemistry experiments. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s the solution? Make almond (and pistachio and pecan and sunflower seed) milk at home. Depending on the price of the nuts, it costs about the same, or even a little less, than the premium brands of almond milk, and the quality is far better. Plus, homemade almond milk is just about the easiest DIY kitchen project you can take on. I often talk about how easy many of these projects are, but almond milk is by far the simplest. All you need to do is soak, blend, and drain.

After they are rolled, the Seedles dry outside before getting coated in colored powder and shipped all around the United States.

So, Burley engineered a machine made out of a rain barrel that spins on its side and rolls the materials into individual balls, allowing him to make 10,000 balls per week in his backyard. After they are rolled, the Seedles dry outside before getting coated in colored powder and shipped all around the United States. Burley has created different wildflower mixes for different parts of the country, so customers can plant flowers native to their region.

What are crab hush puppies you ask? Succulent little bite-sized hush puppies stuffed full of sweet Dungeness crab plus fresh herbs, minced bell pepper, and beer-scented, cornmeal-spiked batter. Assuming that you purchase the crabmeat already pulled from the shell, they are also a snap to put together. But you might want to reserve these for your inner circle: they really are that good. (When I was testing them, they went in an instant.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you are uninitiated with hush puppies--fried rounds of cornmeal batter that are most often served alongside seafood--you are in for a real Southern treat. I grew up on these nuggets, and living on the west coast, where they are virtually unheard of, I truly miss seeing them on menus. Granted, there are numerous heavy, stodgy, overfried and underseasoned versions out there. But when you get a good one...Oh! They are soooooooo good.

What are crab hush puppies you ask? Succulent little bite-sized hush puppies stuffed full of sweet Dungeness crab plus fresh herbs, minced bell pepper, and beer-scented, cornmeal-spiked batter. Assuming that you purchase the crabmeat already pulled from the shell, they are also a snap to put together. But you might want to reserve these for your inner circle: they really are that good. (When I was testing them, they went in an instant.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you are uninitiated with hush puppies--fried rounds of cornmeal batter that are most often served alongside seafood--you are in for a real Southern treat. I grew up on these nuggets, and living on the west coast, where they are virtually unheard of, I truly miss seeing them on menus. Granted, there are numerous heavy, stodgy, overfried and underseasoned versions out there. But when you get a good one...Oh! They are soooooooo good. This version takes that sometimes homely hush puppy to a new level. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Served with an easy-to-make tangy remoulade sauce, in true Southern style, these will be a hit at your next gathering, whether it’s New Year’s Eve or anytime during crab season.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Don’t let the fact that these are deep-fried put you off.
