CELEBRATING MOM Mother's Day is this Sunday so we thought we'd share with you our favorite recipe for Sourdough French Toast. On our days off, Jenny and I love to linger in the kitchen making breakfast and this is one of our faves. Our Cranberry Pecan Sourdough is a perfect vessel for this recipe, topped with homemade whipped cream and fresh fruit....yum...

Thanks to all the moms out there...And thank you to my mom Twila for always cheering me on...even when I decided to become a photographer after having just graduated college with a degree in Civil Engineering. And for doing the hard thing over and over again each time you grounded me (Warden...Mom...interchangeable!) - you taught me integrity, hard work, compassion for others and so much more. And thank you to Jenny's mom Kathy for supporting her in her passions, like sharing her kitchen with 10 year old Jenny so she could explore her love of baking. And for listening to the little environmentalist every time she reminded you to recycle and save water. We both feel so fortunate each and every day for the loving support our families have provided us and continue to provide. We love you!

THE TAHITIAN VANILLA KNOT
An IZOLA classic, the Tahitian Vanilla Knot. Made with whole Tahitian vanilla beans, we begin the process by steeping organic milk with vanilla beans for several days. The vanilla-scented milk is then used to make the dough....floral...sweet...yum!

We laminate the dough - sandwiching the dough with butter from Normandy, then rolling it flat, repeating the process several times to create very thin layers of butter and dough. Lamination requires precision, cold temps and fast hands! Once the dough is laminated, our team makes hundreds of precise cuts into the dough before braiding and rolling each knot.



They proof overnight, then they get a special little manual "bump" of steam and heat just before baking to ensure they come out fluffy like a cloud... When our Tahitian Vanilla Knots come out of the oven, we dip them in icing made with more...you guessed it....Tahitian vanilla beans! Pre-orders for the week are open now. Have a pre-order and in a hurry? No problem! Double park downstairs and call us at (619) 289-8358, we'll run your order down to you. We call it IZOLA DRIVE-BY. No pre-order? Pop on by the bakeshop - we set aside half of our inventory each day for walk-ins. Pre-orders are not required!
