A friend recently introduced me to a large bakery (really almost a factory) about 15 minutes from my house. I took my boys there over the weekend to buy bagels and also two kinds of bread for a “Spring Party”. The boys were especially amazed by the bagel machine spitting out bagels a few hundred per minute. With the bagels having been baked just minutes before, they were amazing.
Fresh bagels by the hundreds, and only 45-cents.
The bakery had more than 50 types of bread to choose from. I tried to pick loaves that were still warm. I bought a wonderful round loaf on Italian Panella, which was beautiful and tasted great. However I also needed a French baguette for some onion soup, but the loaf turned out to not be very genuine. The crumb was not at all light or airy; its crumb was more like sandwich bread than baguette.
The trip was fun, and since I was cooking dinner for 20 people, it was a nice alternative to baking.
Matt checking out the vast variety of bread.
Oh my…! Bagels!!!! I really miss the american bagels! I need that machine!!!
And the “flaco” in the picture needs an haircut
Wow – what a neat place to see. 50 kinds of bread?? I’m in heaven … Lol.
