Local Grains, Artisan Breads: An Interview with Ellen King of Hewn Bakery

Welcome back to Pizza Quest for another new season of conversations with very interesting people. Ellen King, whose bakery in Evanston, Illinois, Hewn, has become legendary for its beautifully crafted breads and pastries using regionally specific flour and local grains. Ellen explains the vision behind the bakery's name and she shares the story of her long and winding journey to fulfill that vision, which emerged over time, to marry her love of art with her love for bread. This episode is for those of us bread geeks who never tire of drilling down deep in our quest for beauty, especially as found in a loaf of bread. Look for her book, “Heritage Baking: Recipes for Rustic Breads and Pastries Made With Artisan Flour From Hewn Bakery” at your favorite book seller.
