  • SCRATCHgathering at SCRATCHshop | August 29

    Posted in Featured | by SCRATCHme

    Friends, Fans, Supporters, Good People…

    We say come on over this Sunday and raise a glass at our amazing new (almost complete) food workshop. We’re breaking some bread and previewing tasty bites from SCRATCHbread’s hot toast menu at our walk-up retail window (toasted stuffed savory muffins, griddled chai sticky buns, and other morsels of deliciousness). We’ll have Brooklyn Soda Works’ latest seasonal soda on tap, wine courtesy of Chestnut restaurant, and work some super local produce from BK Farmyards into the mix.

    We’d be tickled to see you, and spread the word!
    Sunday, August 29 (2 – 6 pm)
    1069 Bedford Avenue (at Lexington), Brooklyn NY 11216

I really appreciate the love, we’re gonna start having a little fun with this Kickstarter campaign, because we just can’t fail.

We have a generous amount of your support so far, and I know it ain’t easy investing into something, but I promise you, with every bite you will be happy you did. So please pass the word.

We’ve added another reward for the home cook: the $40 SCRATCHbaker plan, PLUS if you make a pledge in the next two weeks, you’;ll be entered into a raffle and get free bread from us at the BK Flea! Check it out >>

Kickstarter Update

Posted in Fundraiser, SCRATCHjournal | by SCRATCHme | No Comments »

So weʼve hit a few great points. Weʼve passed 5gʼs on the campaign and I’ve got the shop just about ready to start testing new ideas….CHECK out the photos of the old and new space on facebook. Weʼve also gotten a lot of great props and awesome write ups, including the super fresh Nona Brooklyn piece, Brooklyn Based, Eater.com, Village Voice, and awesome mentions coming up in Cooking Light magazine, PLATE magazine and perhaps a cameo at a Beard event soon (that’s a secret) well. We’re building a lot of momentum, but we need as many people checking out our campaign as possible… weʼve still got $20k to raise… eeeeeek! and Iʼve got nutthin without the success of this campaign. Thanks everybody.

We’ve Got a New Place

Posted in SCRATCHjournal | by SCRATCHme | No Comments »

SCRATCHbread has a new home

We've got a new space… really.

I'm a little embarrassed, but feeling very proud. We just got thrown into a dryer and we came out fluffy, dry and real f***ing hot. We had a few lies throw off our trust mantra, and we got screwed. But we decided to move on, and so move on we've done…

Here's our new space… this is SCRATCHshop. Itʼs our interactive food workshop. Lots of things are happening here that are gonna really benefit all of us very soon. Thanks for supporting us… You’re family to us. Because together, we are all SCRATCHbread.

What an awesome group of talented people just made my evening… Thanks to all my classmates, I hope you took the information you gained and will make many focacia babies… We covered some decent ground making several types, from thin and crispy rosemary, grey salt and olive oil, to a cracked out bacon, mustard, paprika fluffy crisp deliciousness…

I will return soon… I think I’m gonna try and start rockin a ‘morning amuse’ _breakfast goods class… I’ll let you all know when I can start the first class…

Check out some good words from the daily news.… We got your back grumps.

Doughetry Vol.1 – BREAD

-->

Crunch crackle crumb
of chewy, caramel colored crust.

Spackled of pulverized wheat,
& moistened, crispy from heat

Slashed,
Careful, surgery of its breath…
… exhaled?

BURST, POOF, rising fall
thick and light, perfect failure.

Too old, too new.

Patience patient
Next rise, not soon enough

- MJT

Doughetry Vol.2 – Salt

-->

You Pucker!
Slow me down…
Without you, I’m nothing
Pallet-less & unappealing,
you shrewd example of worthless,
inedible
SCRAP!
You bitter,
over sweet,
Epitome of life…
With you, well, we could be…
BUT you left me,
undeveloped, tasteless & not pretty!

Don’t overcompensate you mouth-numbing
flavor of too much…
I will fight you,
over and over until you kill me…
Then I will hate you.
Until I need you again.
… Please pass the salt

- MJT

Doughtetry Vol. 3 – Tomorrow

-->

The keeping up of keeping up, has caught up….
More rigor
more focus
faster, harder more.
oh, and more time, more time, and a little more time….

Crunch,
(my lunch.)
yawn.
long night…

Tomorrow has come, in fact it is over.

And now tomorrow has come.

first delivery…. tomorrow.

DOUGHETRY Vol. 4 – life

-->

Sleep, cold. nestle. tired. stretched, warm, wet drunk orgy.

BUILD

worn, passed, acidically choked. hungry, fat, trapped & punched

Friends, lovers, food chain?

BUILD

Community of…
tirelessly young. union. fold.

DOUGH

burnt, soaked, stale, crumb.

BREAD
