Further opportunities with pull-apart breads on modern menus
Our panel of experts weighs in on further opportunities with pull-apart breads on modern menus. See Breakaway Breads for the full article.
High-volume concepts can make a fun play on table bread by adding a sweet or savory spin. Think monkey bread, pull-apart rolls, garlic knots, apple pie pull-apart or focaccia with sweet and savory add-ins.
—Jason Hernandez, Chef/Founder, Blade & Tine Culinary Consulting
Combining pull-apart breads with fun dips and sauces is a prime opportunity for menu creativity. Think a steakhouse skillet bread, or a bagel bite made by cutting bagel dough into pieces, tossing in spices and baking in a muffin cup or as monkey bread.
—Jeff Miller, Founder/Co-CEO, Cutting Edge Innovation
Bread isn’t the only pull-apartable—leverage pizza crust to tap into the appeal of dippables and shareables.
