Disclosure: I received coupons and a gift card in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.
My family loves bread and when I was asked to host a bread banquet I was like “Genius!” Any reason to eat bread I am all about and La Brea Bakery artisan breads make it a no-brainer. I decided to challenge myself and come up with a few recipes incorporating bread, rather than just putting out some bread and lunchmeat which is usually what bread goes with in our household.

La Brea Bakery are a premier artisan bread brand co-founded by renowned pastry chef Nancy Silverton back in 1989. They are a company committed to only high-quality breads, buns, and other premium baked goods. I found La Brea Bakery at my local Jewel (Albertson’s) store by the deli and it was made fresh daily.
The recipes I chose are from both La Brea Bakery’s website and one I came up with to recreate a salad I had at a restaurant awhile ago.
(I used bacon instead of the suggested Pancetta and mixed in Pesto)
(I re-created this one)
So what did my family and friends think of our bread banquet? They loved it! Everyone thought it was a great idea and commented on the delicious bread! With the bread being the base of the recipes, have a good quality bread really did make a difference. I loved the freshness of the bread and the subtle flavors within the bread. I bought the recipe the night before I needed it and it was still fresh. I don’t know if I could go back to regular plain ole’ bread anymore for recipes, sandwiches sure but for recipes I like the artisan blends.
