February 2017 Products and Price List

We are busy at work with Sourdough GF chocolate breads of all sizes and a new Rustic Boule– 100% sourdough Gluten Free with Teff, Buckwheat and Sorghum.

These round breads are all about natural sourdough starter and long rises. Here paired with honey, fresh figs, and wild-mushroom brie for an amazing breakfast! Now taking orders for all our breads and cakes.

Fans of good bread and tasteful desserts–holidays are here with their mountains of temptations both good and bad–what’s an urban peasant to do?  We think eating well and sharing with others is a great solution!  Place your order for any of our tasty breads or cakes in time for holiday celebrations and avoid the highly processed sugars and starches from commercially-produced gluten-free goods.

Start your day with toasted sourdough Square Bread spread with your favorite nut butter or creamy goat cheese.  After lunch have a nutrient-dense  Apricot Cake with your afternoon coffee or green tea, and at dinner enjoy a slice of crusty sourdough Peasant Boule with a holiday meal.  For an artisan, Euro-style dessert, have a warm slice of sourdough Chocolate Bread.  Feel good about what you are eating!  Handcrafted, crunchy, whole grain and gluten-free, this is what living is all about.

We highly recommend gluten-free and sourdough breads and cakes for everyone on your list as well.  In the endless shopping for sales and mass-produced name-brands take a stand and do something different. Gift your friends and family with hand-crafted artisan food from Urban Peasants.  Keep it simple this holiday season, share the goodness with others.

We love this recipe and think you will too!  Rich, moist, and nutrient dense, our decadent Apricot Cake is a treat any time of day.  Paleo and Gluten-free, it’s also 100% WLC compliant for Performance Level.

Apricots are a great source of Vitamin A and carotenes, both of which are anti-oxidants and support healthy vision.  Apricots also contain zea-xanthin, which helps protect eyes against age-related macular disease. We use only unsulphured and unsweetened dried apricots for baking.

Almond butter is rich in mono-unsaturated fatty acids (oleic & palmitoleic acids) that help in lowering LDL or “bad cholesterol”. Almonds are also an excellent source of vitamin E which protects us from oxygen-free radicals and are packed with B-complex vitamins.  If that wasn’t enough, almonds (and almond butter) have high levels of essential minerals such as manganese, potassium, calcium, iron, magnesium, zinc, and selenium.

Sit back and enjoy with a cup of coffee or your favorite green tea…it’s learning to live again….it’s the simple things.

Apricot Cakes are available in packets of three cakes.  Contact Dr.Beth (at) urbanpeasants.com for pricing and ordering.

Here it is:  An Urban Peasants original, our gluten-free take on the classic artisan sourdough loaf:

When we started developing our recipe, we set out to make a gluten-free Peasant Bread that even a gluten-lover would enjoy without any sacrifice. Of course, it depends if you are willing to share once you taste it!

Taste Notes:  With a true crispy crust, this is a gluten free bread that crunches in all the right places.  The inside has a dense, moist crumb with lingering sourdough aroma and easy chew.  It has outstanding shelf life–if it doesn’t get eaten first! This loaf slices easily, toasts evenly, and freezes well.

Pricing and Availability:  Peasant Bread is made in micro batches as orders are received.   We recommend our “subscription plan” that provides you with a Peasant Bread once every week or every two weeks; prepay 4 loaves for $32 ($8 per loaf).  Alternately, you may order one loaf at a time, at your convenience, for $10 per loaf.  Delivery not included in pricing.

We’re so excited to share this amazing bread with all of you and we hope you enjoy this sourdough loaf as much as we have!  To order, contact dr.beth (at) urbanpeasants.com

What started out as a distant dream is now a crunchy reality!  We’ve been experimenting with a kombucha starter and multiple gf flours to produce a sourdough bread that will satisfy even the gluten-addicts in our lives.  After taste-testing with our community of food-loving friends we’re making final recipe adjustments.  Next week we hope to make artisan sourdough Peasant Bread available for sale.   Don’t miss out!
