The Tall Grass Whole Wheat Loaf
|
Okay, we give in! Our cinammon buns generate more attention than everything else combined on some days. Who can resist the compelling aroma of an enormous slab of fresh whole wheat cinnamon buns wafting across our bakeries? These are the same delights that regularly generate minor traffic (and bicycle!) jams and allow our customers time to chit-chat with their neighbours as they wait in line. The staff carve great blocks of them, sometimes by the dozen, to be whisked off to meetings or, more probably, to accompany a perfect cup of coffee as you jump back into bed to read the Saturday newspaper in peace. (Parents know to pick them up for the kids, too, if they want any time to themselves).
These delicious favourites available year-round at our bakeries. Made famous at the

Throughout the year, we feature special seasonal favourites, often relating to a celebration or cultural tradition.
As an example, as the winter begins to relax and warm air and sunshine fills our lives again, we have our Easter line-up including Hot Cross Buns. These spicy, fruit laden and delicious buns are an ancient British tradition. They were made in honour of the Vernal or Spring Equinox. Later they were absorbed into the Christian faith and a cross on the top was added. We bake hot cross buns for 6 weeks during Lent until Easter Monday. These buns, in conjunction with a prayer, were thought to protect the family from fire, rats, accidents and shipwreck. Insurance that tastes great.
More Easter special baking at Tall Grass Prairie Bread Company includes:
- Christopomo Bread: A gift from the Greek Orthodox tradition. This sweet bread is rich in butter & eggs and flavoured richly with anise. A bread that melts in your mouth.
- Tall Grass Fruit Bread: Adding fruit to a lovely light organic bread dough brings sweet simple harmony that blesses the senses. Taste cranberries, raisins, traditional fruit peel and fresh oranges.
- Spring Song Lemon Cookie: A delicate butter cookie gently brushed with a fresh lemon sugar glaze. Oh, the sweetness of spring!
- Easter Saffron Bread: A gentle tasting bread. Our organic flour mixed with rum soaked raisins, saffron and a hint of orange.
Drop in at Tall Grass for seasonal specials throughout the year, or ask us what is coming up next. We all celebrate in our own special ways, and we like to help you mark the passage of the year with our traditional baking.
