Banana Bread With Ellen King
Of Hewn Bread
Today’s guest is Ellen King, co-owner of Hewn Bread in Illinois and the author of the 2018 cookbook, Heritage Baking. Hewn is beloved for its dedication to heritage grains and traditional bread-making techniques. With locations in Evanston, Libertyville, and Winnetka, it’s become a community staple, and Ellen’s work has earned national recognition.
Ellen joins host Jessie Sheehan to share her journey from discovering truly good bread in Norway to the influence Chad Robertson’s Tartine Bread had on her craft to her underground bread club. Then, the duo walk through Ellen’s banana bread recipe from Heritage Baking, and the baker shares her trick for getting extra moist and flavorful loaves.
