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. Click here for Ellen’s Banana Bread recipe.To get our new Love Issue, click here. For Jubilee 2025 tickets, click here.Visit cherrybombe.com for subscriptions, show transcripts, and tickets to upcoming events.More on Ellen: Hewn Bread, website, “Heritage Baking” cookbookMore on Jessie: Instagram, “Salty, Cheesy, Herby, Crispy Snackable Bakes” cookbook
