Upper Crust Bread

A long lost menu item will make its return soon.

Bread is back, gang!

I reopened the online store Saturday morning and there are already several orders placed by the early birds. This is shaping up to be another week where I might hit production capacity early.

Don't wait until Thursday night to place your order!

I hope everyone is having a good holiday season! Things are cooling off at Planter's House finally and I can begin to get in a little relaxing time with my New Year's Eve tradition of Smørrebrød, bubbles, and MST3K.

The rugbød loaf has been the biggest surprise this year.I don't know if my yearly smørrebrød post has anything do with it, but I'm super excited to see people explore the more old-world and esoteric side of bread. It's been a real challenge to keep up with that loaf. Between that loaf, the classic rye loaf, the pumpernickel loaf, the cookies and the gingerbread, I've gone through an astounding amount of rye flour this year.

In any case, Happy New Year, friends. Thank you for giving me a reason to enter into my SIXTH YEAR of doing this. The loyalty to patronizing my humble and modest small business and the enthusiasm people express to me makes all this worth it. I know you could hear really good bread at any number of bakeries in town, but the fact that you are willing to place an order and patiently until the weekend to receive it means a lot. Thank you, again!

All smørrebrød starts with a slice of rugbrød and butter:

1. aioli, waxy potato, gem lettuce, bacon, shallot, chive

2. shrimp, egg, avocado, pickled tomato, mustard, dill, lemon zest

3. roast beef, parsnip rémoulade, pickled onion, sprouts, fried shallot

4. chicken liver pâté, beet tartare, mushroom, granny smith, walnut, celery leaf

There are only a few more days to get your orders in for the Thanksgiving menu! Be sure to place them before 9p on Friday.

Important note: if you placed an order already, you should have already been sent an invoice to the email that I received your order from. Some invoices are still floating around, unpaid. All unpaid invoices will be canceled at the end of the day on Saturday, so be sure to check your email or spam folder, in case it slipped past you. If you think that you were not sent one, be sure to send me another email and we'll get to the bottom of things.
