Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
We will be closed January for baker training and our annual holiday.
We will reopen on February 1st.
Five of our bakers will travel to the San Francisco Baking Institute for one-week courses and Rachel will begin the same six-month professional course that Jerry took just before we opened Fire Island three years ago.
We have an ongoing commitment to educate our bakers in what we consider the finest artisan baking school in North America. They will bring back to Anchorage, and our great customers, an even greater skill in baking delicious pastries, breads, and cakes.
We will spend January in Southern Spain, hiking from village bakery to village bakery. We will take notes on breads and pastries so we can come home and weave new recipes into the Fire Island lineup! Thank you so much for a wonderful year. We look forward to being your neighborhood bakery in 2012. See you in February.
Have a great January,
Fire Island Rustic Bakeshop
Fire Island is a small artisan bakery located in the heart of South Addition – one of Anchorage’s oldest neighborhoods, just south of downtown. Our line of baked goods include crusty, traditional breads, sweet and savory croissants and scones, hearty muffins, fresh baked cookies, frosted cakes, tarts, multi-grain granola, a variety of daily sandwiches, and holiday specialties. We proudly brew organic, fairly traded coffee and tea.
We arrive in the early hours of the morning to bake small batches of croissants, breads, muffins, and scones. We crack the eggs, zest the fruit, cook the chutney, slow roast the tomatoes, and (lovingly) feed the “sourdoughs” – everything is hand made. Only the finest and freshest ingredients we can find are used in Fire Island baked goods. All of our flour is organic and specially chosen and milled for artisan baking. We believe this yields the best tasting and most responsibly made products.
We appreciate the community spirit that surrounds the bakery. Fire Island staff strive to provide great service and friendliness to all our customers. We are excited to share our love of baking. Come visit us!
Thanks you,
