Apple Pie Large

About this piece

Large family-size apple pie. Short-pastry base, double crust. Order 24 hours ahead through the contact page. It sits in the whole cakes side of the bench rotation. The whole cakes side runs Wednesday through Saturday with the dough cold-fermenting from the previous weekend.

How we make it

The dough is built on the long-fed starter we have kept since the bakehouse opened. We mix Tuesday afternoon, cold-ferment overnight, shape Wednesday morning, and bake to a deep crust at high deck temperature. The whole cakes side of the bench uses the same flour blend across the whole list. The variation comes from the shape, the hydration, and the rest.
