Chapter 1
Breakfast
My mom enjoyed the quiet moments of early morning. She rose in the dark at around five and went about her routine, listening to her favorite morning radio show, This Thing Called Life, which was broadcast throughout Southern California. As soon as Dr. Bill shouted, Good morning, friends!
at seven, Mom would wake my sister, Natalie, and me from our sleep. She would say in her sweet morning voice, Rise and shine,
and carry in a cup of coffee milk
(milk with a splash of coffee) to get us going.
Griff wakes me up exactly the same way each day. It’s time to rise and shine,
he says at 3:30
a.m.
Griff’s body clock gets us to the bakery every morning in time to make the rustic breads and the pastries our customers have come to rely on to start their days. (Let’s just say the bakery would never open in the morning if it weren’t for Griff!)
By 4:30
a.m.
, we’re in the car headed to the bakery. Like my mother, we have come to enjoy working in the peaceful moments before the sun rises. We keep the lights low. The only sound track is the hum of the refrigerators, the whir of the mixers, a timer beeping, and the beat of a whisk against the side of a stainless steel bowl.
Griff’s routine is a kind of meditation. He mixes the bread dough, lets it ferment, cuts and shapes the individual loaves, proofs them, and then slides them into the oven to bake. While he’s working on the bread, he runs through the day’s lunch prep in his mind. I measure and set out the ingredients for cupcakes and frostings, mix chocolate chip cookie dough, and scoop batter into muffin tins. We speak very little. We are in the zone—our comfort zone. Griff moves on to making Ham and Cheese Pastry Puffs (page 28) while I gather the dry biscone ingredients. The bakery is filled with the sweet scent of Cinnamon-Sugar-Doughnut Muffins (page 20) baking in the oven and the caramelized notes from a pot of bacon jam (see page 235) slow-cooking on the burner.
Before we know it, the front-of-house team arrives to stock the cases for the day. As the lights go up, our customers are greeted by the sound of the bell jingling above the door, the smell of fresh sourdough loaves pulled from the oven, and the clicks and grind of espresso beans for cappuccinos. The rhythm quickens throughout the day, but it’s those early morning hours, peaceful and serene before the neighborhood wakes, when Griff and I most cherish being bakers.

tender, light and fluffy
We make our biscones
with Southern flair, using lots of butter and a mix of all-purpose and cake flours to get as close as we can to the White Lily flour my grandma Hannah favored. If you’re lucky enough to find White Lily, substitute 3 cups of it for the flours called for here. You’ll end up with a crispy, flaky biscone just like my grandma used to bake.
Makes 10 to 12 biscones
1½ cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1½ cups cake flour (not self-rising)
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder, preferably aluminum-free
¾ teaspoon fine sea salt
¼ teaspoon ground cardamom
½ pound (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into ½-inch cubes
1 cup dried fruit, such as sour cherries or currants (optional)
1½ cups buttermilk, or as needed
1 egg, beaten with a pinch of fine sea salt, for egg wash
¼ cup Cardamom Sugar (page 22) or coarse sanding sugar for sprinkling
Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and cardamom and whisk until completely incorporated. Add the butter and, working quickly, cut it in with a pastry blender. You should have various-sized pieces of butter, from sandy patches to pea-sized chunks, and some larger bits as well. Add the dried fruit, if using, and toss to distribute it evenly.
Gradually pour in the buttermilk and gently fold the ingredients until you have a soft dough and there are no bits of flour in the bottom of the bowl. You should still see lumps of butter in the dough; these will give you light and flaky biscones. If the dough seems dry, you may need to add a little more buttermilk. The dough should be moist and slightly sticky.
Gently pat down the dough with your hands right in the bowl until it resembles a loaf of bread. Dust the top of the dough lightly with flour. Using a large ice cream scoop, scoop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, arranging them about 1 inch apart so that the biscones have room to rise and puff up. Lightly tap down the tops of the
