When we read that the head baker at Simply Bread was part of the USA team that upset the European favorites and won the Coupe de Monde de la Boulangerie in 2005, we had to check it out. You can get Simply Bread at AJ's and fine restaurants like Binkley's but we wanted to get right to the source.
They happened to be doing a promotion on mini rolls which was just perfect for us, given how indecisive we tend to be when presented with such variety. We got:
- Walnut raisin: my favorite when done right and it was here - complex flavor from the long fermented dough, filled with thoughtfully sourced walnuts and raisins
- Black bean and corn: savory and nice crunchy texture from the cornmeal on top - good enough to eat on its own
- Sundried tomato: tasty and tangy
- Challah twist: pillowy soft with a hint of sweetness
Ah Simply Bread... simply delicious...
