Baking For Your Best Customers

Posted on: 20 March 2015

Bread lovers, you've just stumbled upon an enlightening foodie blurb about your favorite topic - breads you've never heard of. You may have trouble choosing which variety to try first, but if you're in the mood for something new you'll love these delectable breads. 

Savory Bialy

This tasty delight is of Polish descent. It falls somewhere between a yeast roll and a bagel. Imagine a flat chewy roll that's 5 or 6 inches wide, filled with chopped onion, and then baked to golden perfection. Normally, a bialy is eaten with just a small bit of butter or on its own, but it's also a perfect side for rainy days to complement a homemade soup or stew. 

Exquisite Injera

This tasty flat-bread is a staple for people in many parts of Africa. You may find injera bread in ethnic restaurants, but for the most part it hasn't quite caught on in the United States yet. Injera bread has a sourdough type base, perfect for bread lovers who enjoy a bit of a kick. It can topped with just about anything (no plate needed) or can be torn into pieces and eaten.

Distinctive M'smen 

Fabulous is not an adequate term for this delicious treat. M'smen bread hails from Morocco and is traditionally eaten with honey as a sweet breakfast bread. Very buttery, light, and tender, m'smen is a wonderful compliment to rich dishes. It may be used fold-over style with lightly cooked mushrooms, onions, herbs, and rich meats for lunch or dinner. 

Piquant Panettone

Forget about your grandmother's fruitcake. Panettone isn't the dense brick-like bread that you consider re-gifting each Christmas. It originated in Italy as a holiday desert. While it is a very rich bread, full of raisins, chocolate and candied fruit, it's also amazingly light. Most often, panettone is served with sweet wine and is truly a wonderful desert for special occasions or holiday events.

Appetizing Arepa

Arepa is a bread that does it all. This tasty bread is a South American favorite and can be pulled apart or sliced and used much like a tortilla. Popular fillings are cheese, meats and vegetables. It's also common for arepa to be used as a flat-bread and topped with a variety of foods, to be eaten open faced style. Made with maize flour, arepa is truly a traditional bread ideal for authentic taste.
