Bread!

We have a special treat for Tasty Tuesday today and it's not dessert, it's BREAD! We have had many requests for bread over the years, so it is a product we have decided to try in our retail store.

To start, we will have a Rustic French Baguette, a Sea Salt & Olive Oil Focaccia, and a Sea Salt & Rosemary Focaccia baked fresh and available on Thursday, Friday and Saturday for the time being. But since we are introducing the bread to you on a Tuesday, it will be available in the store today for this week only.

With our move to Lambert's Plaza in Westwood in January, we anticipate that bread could be a popular item and hope to expand this selection and it's availability based on feedback and demand.

For now, the large Rustic French Baguette is only $2.00...

 ...and the Focaccia is only $2.00 as well!

You just can't beat those prices for a fresh, all-natural product! The reason for these unbeatable, fabulously low prices? We are still working with recipes and we want your feedback! So please stop by the store, buy some bread and let us know what you think!

Give us a call, send us an email, leave us a comment here on this blog post, or just stop by the store with your feedback. We want to know:

• What you think of our bread? Positive and negative! - Is it delicious? Does it need more flavor? Is it dry? Is it moist?
• What time of day you usually buy bread? - In the morning? Around lunchtime? Just before dinner?
• What are you buying bread for? - Buying it for lunch or dinner? Picking it up at lunchtime for dinner tonight or actually for your lunch?
• What type of bread you're looking for?
• And anything else you can think of!

This feedback will help us improve our recipes and provide our customers with the bread they are looking for, along with the quality and freshness they have come to expect from Dessert Works!

Triple Berry Galette

Our Blog Special of The Week in the retail store this week is going to be our Triple Berry Galette! You may be asking yourself 2 questions: What is a Blog Special of the Week? And what exactly is a galette?

Our Blog Special of the Week is a new promotion we will be running here on the blog that features a product in our retail store for an entire week. This item will be out for you to sample in our retail store during that week. Also, if you purchase this item during that week and mention that you saw it was the Blog Special of the Week, you will receive an additional 10% off that item! You only receive this discount if you mention you saw the item on our blog though.

A galette is essentially a rustic, open-faced pie! We have different fillings depending on the season, but berries are in season now, so this galette has a blueberry, strawberry and raspberry filling. The flaky, buttery crust comes up slightly over the edge of the top, leaving the delicious berry filling showing, with a few pastry stars as decoration.

The Triple Berry Galette is available in an individual size for $2.55, as well as a larger 9" size for $14.50. The galette tastes best at room temperature, or slightly warmed in the oven, making it perfect for a picnic or barbeque, or just a nice, casual summer dessert!
