ROASTED GARLIC AND DRY JACK BREAD
This bread is the specialty of handcrafted bread baker Craig Ponsford at his bakery,
Artisan Bakers, in Sonoma, California. Craig’s loaf is a beautiful round starter bread
baked in the wood-fire tradition, but the combination of flavors stand on their own
even in the bread machine. Craig uses Bear Flag Dry Jack cheese, a specialty of
northern California’s Vella Company, which has the factory of its seventy-year old
family business across the town square from Craig’s bakery. Dry jack, a California
original, was developed during World War I as a substitute for Parmesan cheese,
which could not be imported.
