the Art of Bread Nothing added, everything gained. All bread rises, but not to the level of Brickfire Bakery’s traditionally crafted artisan bread, with features that matter most to your diners:

Inside the Loaf at Brickfire Bakery

• WHOLESOME INGREDIENTS: 73% of consumers will pay more for all-natural ingredients.

Perfection is baked into each loaf of Brickfire Bakery’s artisan creations, beginning with lowspeed mixing of the dough, allowing gluten to develop undisturbed. This results in “low stress lines” or big, beautiful pockets of air inside the loaves that enhance the flavor. You’ll also see “crumb,” the openhole texture that can only be achieved by a slow rise. Our loaves are given a full 24 hours to rise to perfection. Instead of speeding up the proofing process so the bread rises more quickly, the process is slowed down so more complex flavors and textures can develop.

• Thick, golden caramelized crusts, and hand scoring, the hallmarks of artisan bread. 61% of consumers prefer artisan bread when it’s available. • Natural proof, or rise, allows complex flavors and textures to develop. 70% of consumers agree that sandwiches made with premium ingredients are worth a higher price. • No preservatives, additives, dough conditioner or Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs). Non-GMO is the second most important clean label attribute to consumers when purchasing bread.

Going Hawaiian It’s always sunny with these sweetly inspired treats Hawaiian rolls are having more than a moment in the sun, shining brighter than ever after almost 70 years on the American table. No longer a guilty pleasure, these slightly sweet and very addictive rolls have proven themselves as one of the most valuable rolls in the pantry. They can be pressed into service as the perfect complement for a spicy beef slider, garnished with a side of pineapple rings, of course. Stuff them full of deli meats, meatballs, chicken salad, vegetables or seafood; or layer with ham, Swiss cheese and caramelized onions and offer guests a signature sandwich experience. Even sweeter: brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter or warmed honey for an added touch of richness.

Thai burger

Chef Talk Hawaiian rolls originated with Portuguese immigrants who came to the island in the midto-late 19th century to work at livestock ranches and pineapple and sugarcane plantations. Many of the families baked their own breads sweetened their batter using local ingredients like honey and pineapple juice.

ingredients 6 6-8 8 oz burger patties 3 tsp Thai red curry paste (for hand made patties) 3 tsp Chinese 5 spice and salt (for preformed patties) THAI COLESLAW 1 can coconut milk, full fat 1pkg shredded cabbage, 16 oz 1 lime, juices 1 Tbsp soy sauce 1 Tbsp Honey or Agave Syrup SPICE MAYO 4 Tbsp Mayo 1/2 lime, juiced TT Thai chili garlic sauce PREPARATION To create the slaw, mix all liquid ingredients together until fully blended. Add shredded cabbage. Toss. To create the mayo, combine all ingredients. For burger patties, if creating your own patties, mix 1/2 tsp Thai red curry paste into each patty until seasoning is evenly distributed. Salt exterior of the patty. If using a preformed patty, season outside with Chinese 5 spice and salt. Grilled burgers to your desired doneness, assemble and serve.

Top Choice The Beef Goes On This classic American tradition is still sizzling, and even in a field crowded with contenders, hamburgers remain the #1 meal choice in the U.S. Our love of beef runs deep, with record numbers sinking their teeth into a big juicy burger each year. Almost half of all Americans eat a burger weekly with no slowdown in sight. What this means is a constant appetite for new preparations, presentations, ingredients….the meatier the better. Try some of these:

Top it off.

What’s top of mind for the new burger? Kuma’s Corner in Chicago has been piling it on and building a worldwide base of fans with its tempting toppers that include the High on Fire (prosciutto, roasted red pepper, grilled pineapple, sweet chili paste and sriracha), the Scorched Tundra (chicharrones, roasted jalapeño, habanero mayo and a stout barbecue sauce) and Goatsnake (herbed goat cheese, poblano sweet corn relish, cholula lemon vinaigrette and buttermilk breaded deep-fried red onions).

Double the pleasure. Double the pleasure. The only thing better than a grilled, thick burger…two thinner burgers stuffed with cheese, such as Trifecta Tavern + Bakery in Portland, Oregon’s creation of ground brisket and chuck patties and pimento cheese on a brioche bun.

Bring it home with sliders. Bring it home with sliders. A favorite for

PRAIRIE CREEK USDA graded upper 2/3 Choice Angus Chuck Brisket Blend Ground using only whole muscle from the chuck and brisket Patties crafted to be tender and juicier, cook more quickly and yield more meat Minimally processed for superior texture and bite

the ages, these beloved mini burgers are perfect for sharing, and there’s no end to the possible variations, or keep it old-school and go with grilled patties, topped with grilled onions on a potato roll.

Rich, buttery finish and intense natural beef flavor

Pack in the protein. Add flavor and more protein goodness to burgers by incorporating trendy items like andouille sausage, blackened chicken, rock shrimp, or a perfectly poached egg.

Stand out by blending in Re-imagine the Burger with a Healthy Dose of Mushrooms While mushrooms and beef may seem like lifelong companions, the blended burger concept has its origins in a 2011 study by the Culinary Institute of America (CIA) testing consumer acceptance of mushrooms as a partial substitute for meat in classic dishes. CIA faculty members developed a prep method of quartering white button mushrooms, searing or sauteeing them, and finally mincing to mix with beef. Mushroom’s abundant umami properties came into full play as the study participants actually preferred the blended meat to 100-percent beef, praising the enhanced aroma, flavor, texture and moistness. The James Beard Blended Burger Project, begun in 2015, shone a bright spotlight on this unique strategy, challenging the nation’s chefs to reimagine classic dishes in a healthier way while actually pumping up the taste and texture. It’s impossible to resist the multiple wins of The Blend. Subbing in one quarter of a recipe’s beef with mushrooms fulfills the promise of a burger that’s better for everyone:

Operators You’ll receive bottom line savings in the form of enhanced margins and reduced costs for meat. Equally important, you’ll be able to market a menu that’s hyper-appealing to younger generations seeking nutritious, environmentally responsible options with no sacrifice in taste. Take a tip from Blended Burger project winner Chef Fiore Moletz of Burgh’ers restaurants, who put his prize-worthy creations on the menu with great success. The blended patty, dubbed #theblend, generates 10 to 15 percent of weekly revenue while building an invaluable buzz around the healthconscious, sustainable ethos at his Philadelphia venues.

The calorie value proposition is compelling. Four ounces of medium ground beef has 376 calories, which can be reduced by up to 65 percent, along with decreased fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and sodium. You’re seamlessly adding an extra serving of vegetables to the plate, and powering up the burger with nutrients including vitamin D, potassium, B- vitamins, selenium and antioxidants.

Plant it Right Here Beefed-up burgers without the meat The seeds of change have been planted and are beginning to sprout on menus across the country. While only six percent of diners consider themselves strictly vegans or vegetarians, the number is deceiving increasing numbers of diners are seeking alternatives that look and taste more like the traditional proteins they’re eschewing. Plant-based options are as likely to be sampled by meat lovers looking for a change and flexitarians seeking new choices as they are by resolute vegetarians.

"The average customer trying out an Impossible or Beyond Burger is not a lifelong vegetarian but a meat eater looking for food that is better for their bodies and for the planet.” - Time Magazine Copy that! And consider just how ubiquitous plant-based dining has become in just the last five years. Virtually all U.S. grocery stores now sell plant-based meat products; JUST Mayo has been joined by JUST Egg, an egg replacer made with pea protein that’s already landed in restaurants, corporate foodservice facilities and campus dining halls; a niche for plant-based offerings has been carved out in the meal kit and delivery space with Purple Carrot and Veestro, among others; and fast-food vegan joints keep popping up, like By Chloe, Veggie Grill and Wiz Kid in Philadelphia, which offers a very popular reimagining of the iconic Philly cheesesteak. Also consider that the key factors driving food choices remain taste, cost and convenience, so expanding your menu offerings with delicious, reasonably-priced, plant-based dishes is one of the smartest moves you can make. Plant the seeds with the recipes shown on these two pages, and watch it bloom.

Brews & Breads

Winning match ups featuring craft beer and some of today’s most delicious breads We may experience them in very different forms, but with grain, water and yeast in common, beer and bread are close cousins. When it’s time to pair beer with food, however, most restaurant professionals look elsewhere on the plate for guidance, seeking complementary notes in proteins, vegetables and spices. Many of the artisanal breads available today are worthy of beer pairings of their own. Following are some of the best match-ups recommended by Tim Garso, beverage director for Galley Group, a Pittsburgh-based food hall development company.

Ciabatta: Classic, rustic flavors are associated with this ciabatta, ideal to pair with a beer that’s bright, flavorful and not overpowering. A crisp lager like Victory Prima Pils jumps out, with its classic German noble hops, bright citrus and earthiness.

Pretzel roll: A nut brown ale, preferably barrelaged to add a layer of complexity. Pittsburgh’s East End brewing makes Fat Gary nut brown ale and, every so often, Fatter Gary, which is barrel aged; some have a flavor of burnt pretzels, which is perfect with this roll.

Brioche: Go with a pale wheat ale for a soft brioche, something with a slight hop bite like Lagunitas’ A Little Sumpin’ Sumpin’. More intense brioches match up with a decadent beer like a British-style barleywine, with big, sticky toffee notes as a natural foil.

Onion: Lean toward hoppy beers, but nothing too over the top. Classics like Sierra Nevada or New Belgian Fat Tire Amber, which have some hops, but a lot of amber malt notes, are ideal. Also look for beers that use summit hops, which have an onion characteristic.

Sourdough: Choose a grisette, which is similar to a saison. It has classic farmhouse hay notes, and is light enough to pair with the subtle notes of the bread, but also has a welcome bit of funk and tartness. Rye: Nothing better than a rye pale ale. Look for Kentucky Ryed Chiquen (from Against the Grain Brewery), an amber ale aged in rye barrels. The spicy rye notes of the barrel complement some of the sweeter, more subtle notes of an amber ale.
