Hello again
Time flys! - I trust everyone is enjoying all the bread making and starting to think about Christmas which is just around the corner. I am procrastinating ...... I always make Christmas cakes to sell and I am wondering if this year I should actually make the flour blend (so blend the flour for you with all the yummy spices in it already so that all you need to worry about is the mixed fruit, eggs and butter? - what are your thoughts .... text me on 0490 261 536 if you think you would purchase 500g bags of the blended flour, I could also supply the dried fruit too if you would prefer, but again let me know by texting or emailing me (admin@risenflour.com.au) to let me know your thoughts.
On another exciting note. We will be at FREO FARMERS MARKET tomorrow (Sunday 25 October) for the 1st time selling our wonderful flours and bread mixes, please pop in and say hi. We would love to meet you all. It only runs until lunch time so be in quick. We won't be there every Sunday, but if all things go well we will try and be there every alternate week.
BASIC BREAD MAKING COURSES HAVE BEGUN! - I am now running some basic bread making courses from the unit in East Vic Park - the next one I have available is 21st November - spaces are limited so book quickly - $65 per head - from 10am to around 1.30pm ish and that includes notes, recipe, baking tin, scraper and ingredients to make your loaf. To book into the class email me your name to admin@risenflour.com.au. Bring a friend too and have fun. Cant wait to meet you!
Sourdough classes will start in the new year.
Please remember we have a click and collect option so if you would prefer to collect your flours and bread mixes from our unit, purchase your products and then the click and collect option and we will let you know when we are there so you can collect.
Also remember that the warmer months are approaching so if you are a sourdough baker (as I am ) your sourdough starter will be becoming far more active now and you will have to start feeding it twice a day. We have a great rye flour for you to use for yours and its not expensive either so having to discard won't be so hard on the pocket. My starter (Gertie) has risen out of her jar a couple of times already!
Hello Community of fellow bakers and bread makers
Thank you so much for signing up to be apart of our online community. As you may (or may not) be aware we are a new business, family-run and based in the beautiful Western Australia, East Vic Park to be precise.
This is a heads up to you all (as I promised in my 1st email to you about being the 1st to know about specials etc) – at the end of this week we have a special on 2 types of bread proofing bannetons which I have been able to find, 23cm round and 25cm oval, so if you are keen to get your hands on one at a very reasonable price, jump in early –
Sale starts on Thursday 1st October- Go to the UTENSILS
page to purchase. They are very reasonably priced too!
We do have a click and collect
option now from our unit, but we will need to organize a time that is convenient for us both, as Eric and I are not always there, but will make every effort to be there at a time that suits you to collect.
If you haven’t already tried it, you must try our
North African Bread Mix
which I developed. It has nigella and sesame seeds in it– I often make the dough and then shape it into a baguette, bake and have it with a cheeseboard with dips and spreads, but sometimes I make it into a loaf as well – divine toasted.
Another product of ours which I am passionate about is our Artisan Single Origin Flours which have been grown right here in Geraldton! How awesome is that to know exactly where the flour was grown and that its not mixed with other wheats!.
A little background: -
I basically LOVE feeding people, it is my passion to see happy full tummies – I am not a gourmet chef and am not very good at presenting artistic stylized dishes, in fact I don’t have the patience to do that, although I must say my son-in-law is a chef who does an amazing presentation of his food!
I produce food to fill you and make you content, I do love experimenting though with flavours and different cultures foods – am always up to try something new. Just a little while ago I met the lovely Mei, from Mei’s Noodles in East Vic Park (she has authentic Chinese noodle soups and dishes – give her a try) and she was saying how she wanted to learn how to make hand-pulled noodles, I had never tried this before but Mr Google did his trick and showed me how. I then went and made some, albeit a lot slower than those amazing professional chefs. Have a look online if you are keen.
I also LOVE baking and I love baking breads and sourdough breads. Just at the start of this COVID period I was baking my sourdoughs and couldn’t find the specialty flours I wanted to use and I wanted to make loaves of bread for our neighbours and friends to lighten their days and bring joy back to families and the community back together through the sharing of bread around a table.
Due to the lack of availability to the marketplace we (Eric, my husband and I) decided to help bring the community together again and source the flours, and here we are. I am passionate about helping you, the community, so please please don’t hesitate to drop me a line if you are wanting any info or have any feedback or have any questions, If I don’t know the answer to your question I will endeavor to find the answer and get back to you.
We are also trying to source some new trade partners to sell our product. At the moment we are at Swansea Street Markets but are in the process of negotiating with other outlets as well. I will keep you posted!
On another note - I will be running bread baking workshops in the very near future, just in the process of finalizing dates and as soon as that is complete I will let you know Also Sourdough workshops in the new year – again you will be the 1st to know and will send an email a day or so before I post to social media.
We also have a new bread mix I am developing which should be available soon- Keep your eyes peeled.
Well that’s enough from me tonight. Have an awesome week, make a loaf of something be it bread, banana bread, muffins, flat breads or whatever you choose and share it amongst your family and friends.
Blessings!
Jan and Eric.
