Greetings from Mexico City

Hi everyone! 

I'm Pablo and I have been baking bread for a few years now, mostly for myself and my family. I recently started selling a few loaves each week, nothing too serious, but it's amazing how much I've learned in the past two months. I mostly use sourdough. 

I try to make my bread as healthy and whole-foody as I can, but it's very difficult (or expensive) to get organic ingredients or different grains here in Mexico where this whole artisan bread revolution hasn't really reached yet. You can find a few good "artisan" bakeries in the nicer parts of the city (not where I live), but there isn't much home baking culture either. 

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love and am very proud of mexican culinary tradition, I just wish that whole grain hearth artisan (as ambiguous as that word is) bread was a bigger part of it, but it isn't. We do have some delicious sweet breads though, but even in that tradition good bakeries are hard to find.

I just wanted to say hi and share a little thought with all of you. Does anyone else have that kind of problems where they are from?

Happy baking! 

Pablo
