February 15th, 2012 - Real Bread
We’re putting the spotlight on our Artisan range which includes French Baguette, Pane di Casa and Turkish Bread. These versatile breads are great compliment to a home style meal or an elegant event. This season, we’ve focused in on making crostinis which are perfect for entertaining or snacking.
Crostini, which means little toast in Italian, is a fancy name for baguette slices that have been brushed with oil and baked until golden brown. Though delicious on their own, crostinis are the perfect base for an endless variety of toppings and spreads. Try our delicious and fail-safe crostini recipes using our Pane di Casa or French Baguettes. These flavour combinations will be sure to delight your taste buds.
