Naples and the Love of Bread


Neapolitan Cuisine is without doubt the most celebrated Italian cooking style with the use of their local fresh produce that isir cultivated in the rich soil. The cooking of the region of Campania seems to symbolize the most stereotypical Italian cooking. Naples is birthplace to pizza and delicious hearthwarming breads, Growing up there was a truly a gastronomical adventure for us foodies. Here is a recipe for a simple Italian Bread. We have added a touch of my hometown with fresh mozzerella and basil and tomatoes. Basic Italian Bread Dough 4 1/2 cups bread flour 1 pk dry yeast dissolved in 2 cups luke warm water 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar 4 tablespoons olive oil . Here are the instructions I hope you enjoy this like I did with my family. Mix until forms a ball, knead until smooth and elastic, add more flour if dough is sticky , this should not be dry but firm until a ball forms. Rise in a bowl covered with a wet towel, until doubled in size in warm spot, away from draft.... On a large cookie sheet that has been coated with oil or sprayed with a lighter coating, round rolls or two small bread loaves, which ever shape you prefer. I also use this recipe for pizza dough. Very versatile dough, just a little different directions Let rise for another 1/2 hour. Bake on 430 degrees until light brown about 20 minutes. Remove from oven. Cool. Mangia and Buona Salute !!!!

Why shop Indie?

Why shop Indie?
When you shop at an independently owned business, your entire community benefits:
The Economy Spend $100 at a local and $68 of that stays in your community. Spend the same $100 at a national chain, and your community only sees $43.Local businesses create higher-paying jobs for our neighbors. More of your taxes are reinvested in your community--where they belong.The Environment Buying local means less packaging, less transportation, and a smaller carbon footprint. Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money to beautify your community.The Community Local retailers are your friends and neighbors—support them and they’ll support you .Local businesses donate to charities at more than twice the rate of national chains. More independents means more choice, more diversity, and a truly unique community. Great article !!! We truly love our community and always thank-you for your support we could not do it with out you.

Creamy Buttercream with fresh Strawberries


Town Crier Bakery I have really gotten into experimenting with different buttercream flavors (Kerry is going to go crazy) in particular ones with fresh fruit. Shopping at some of our great local farms that we have in our beautiful Bucks County, we landed on strawberries. I must say, this is probably one of my favorite buttercream's I have EVER made. It tasted light and the sweetness came mainly from the strawberries. The flavor profile was perfect according to Krissy with a zest of fresh lemon and Madagascar vanilla brought this creamy fruit swirled buttercream to life. Look for some more fun and exciting summer flavors to come
