From Kitchen in the Shire.
This whole wheat rustic bread was originally baked at sea… on a wood cookstove aboard the Schooner Mary Day, a Maine windjammer sailing out of Camden. It’s a fast, easy-to-make loaf with a soft crumb, a nutty, hearty flavor, and a sturdy crust that holds up beautifully for sandwiches. Known as Schooner Bread, the recipe comes from the late Mary Barney, who cooked for years on the Mary Day for passengers and crew. From start to finish, it’s ready in about 60 minutes… no second rise required.

This is a dense, satisfying loaf with real character — perfect with chowder, salted butter, or just toasted with honey. If you’re craving the kind of bread that tastes like it came with a story… this is the one.
