Breadness Buzz - Cool Nights, Hot Soups and Bread Bowls...

NOTE: If this is your first Breadness Buzz, or you've been part of our tribe but missed earlier posts, visit the Breadness Buzz Archive here and catch up on some Breaducation written especially for you. It's a great way to be part of this journey I started back in 2016. And now for this week's Buzz...

Cool Nights, Hot Soups and Bread Bowls...

CLAM CHOWDER IN A BREADNESS SOURDOUGH BOWL

85 degrees during the day, dropping to the mid-50s at night. It's almost time to turn the heater on! Well, maybe not so fast, with natural gas prices being what they are (especially in winter).

But there's a better way to get warm, and that's with a piping hot soup or stew (hmm... just what is "piping" anyway?). Here to help you elevate your presentation (as well as complementing the meal) are Artisan Sourdough Bread Bowls from Random Acts of Breadness.

That's right... after a hot summer's hiatus, Breadness Bowls are back!

A variation of our popular Petite Sourdough Loaves, Breadness Bowls take a different path to your dinner table:

Before baking, we score a circle on the top of the loaf (this acts as guide to help you cut out the center portion of the loaf).
After baking, we cure the bread for 2 days to give the bowl more structure (that structure helps the bread bowl hold whatever soup or stew you fill it with.)
We then freeze it to lock in that structure and make Breadness Bowls available for sale anytime we're open.
Breadness Bowls can be kept in the freezer until the day you're ready to use them.
Breadness Bowls come with instructions on how to thaw, cut, heat, fill and serve.

Besides soups and stews, Breadness Bowls can elevate your party presentations for hot and cold dips.

And when the fillings are gone, you can refill the bowls with more; or scrape the insides just enough to reach fresh bread, then heat the bread and enjoy with butter; or wrap them up and refrigerate them for use as bowls the next day. You can also scrape the inside as above and freeze the bread for later use to make croutons or stuffing.

This is premium organic artisan sourdough bread, so there's no need to waste any of it!

The following is a step-by-step sequence of creating a memorable meal with our Artisan Sourdough Breadness Bowls:

STEP 1: BREADNESS SOURDOUGH BOWL IS THAWED AND READY FOR ACTION!

STEP 2: USING A STEAK KNIFE, FOLLOW THE CIRCLE TO CUT THE BREAD BOWL AND PULL OUT THE CENTER "PLUG"

STEP 3: REPLACE PLUG, WRAP IN FOIL AND BAKE IN A PRE-HEATED 350 DEGREE OVEN FOR 10 MINUTES,
OR FOR A CRISPIER CRUST, SAME AS ABOVE WITHOUT THE FOIL.

STEP 4: HEAT UP YOUR FILLING; WE'VE GOT SOME GREAT SEAFOOD CHOWDAH HERE!

STEP 5: TAKE BREADNESS BOWL OUT OF THE OVEN AND PLATE IT.

STEP 6: FILL THE FIRST BREADNESS BOWL AND SERVE IMMEDIATELY. REPEAT FOR REMAINING BOWLS.
BE SURE TO HAVE LOTS OF REALLY GOOD BUTTER ON THE TABLE AS WELL!

WHEN ALL THE FILLING'S GONE, LET THE BREADNESS BEGIN!

Lake Balboa Event Success!

October 4th was a very busy day as I set up and manned the Breadness Booth for Autumn in the Neighborhood in Lake Balboa, while Cyndie and Bambi welcomed customers at the bakery in Burbank.

By the time these photos were taken, the sun was already going down. I'd sold all but one of the sourdough loaves with a couple hours of show time still to go. And the gals at the bakery were selling out of bread as well. We sold out shortly thereafter...

Thanks to those who came out to support local artisans and their hand-made art (including Breadness: art you can eat!).

I've seen a Ghost...

Every week lately, a Ghost appears in front of our bakery. It's not invisible, but it's still a Ghost. It's a Rolls Royce Ghost, and it's truly from another world!

Its owner (sometimes with his family) comes in and picks up Breadness for the week, and a few of our other delights (yesterday he also picked up some of our artisan sourdough Rolls, which is perfectly understandable...).

An amusing footnote, his wife's ride is a Smart Car!

Regardless of what chariot you drive, the culinary creations we feature at Random Acts of Breadness will have you and your family dining like royalty...
