Flavor Notes: Nutty, deep, with a gentle tang
Crumb: Light, tender, moist
Perfect for: A moonlight date in the park, by the water, with a glass of blanc de noir
Ingredients & Sourcing:Carolina Ground Shirley Soft Red Winter Wheat
Why this pastry:
I wanted a sweet that captures the hinge between summer and autumn. No, it’s not pumpkin spice season yet. Plums, to me, embody this shift; moody yet bright, the mature fruit. Here they appear in jam, tucked into a dark house of black sesame buttercream with hidden pockets of miso caramel.
About the grain:
