French Bread – Cool Control Method

French bread is the ultimate juxtaposition of refinement and simplicity – just fresh ground flour, water, salt, and yeast. While making bread can challenge home bakers (part of the fun!), the purpose of our “cool control” technique is to eliminate heartbreak and make your baking endeavors easy and delicious.

Original Deli Rye

The bread behind the iconic New York City Deli sandwich. It typically contains 20-30% rye flour, fermented with sourdough starter, giving it a subtle tang and malty rye notes, while the wheat flour lends a soft crust and tender, even crumb. Amazing stacked with pastrami, corned beef, or smoked whitefish.

Italian Rolls

This type of roll was popularized by Italian American immigrants, who filled them with Italian-style cured meats, cheese and pickled vegetable antipasti (like giardinera). The original “Italian” sub inspired many variations that are now famous in their own right, like the Philly Cheesesteak (recipe below!).

Whole Wheat Cherry Scones

These crispy, crumbly, buttery scones were a favorite at the bakery I ran. The secret to the perfect texture is cutting the butter similar to how you would for a shortbread or pie dough. The dried sweetened cherries add a extra special sweet and sour chew, with a hint of caramelization at the edges.

Miche – Whole Wheat Sourdough

These enormous dark and crusty whole wheat loaves can be made any time you like. They don’t have to be big, but they are at their best when they are a larger loaf. The balance of flavors and textures, the tangy, cool, and moist crumb, and the chewy, dark molasses crust make for a satisfying slice of toast, or loaded with your favorite sandwich toppings.

Before developing my recipe and process for making bagels at my bakery, I toured the famous bagel houses of New York and Montreal, each with their own unique style. This recipe is akin to the New York style, with a dense, chewy crumb and toothsome crust.

Apple Tart

I learned to make this apple tart from a French Chef in one of the first restaurants I worked in. It is simply made by turning some apples into applesauce, rolling out and blind baking a tart shell, filling it with the apple sauce, and topping with sliced apples for the bake.
