The breakfast dish I'm planning on preparing next calls for some Italian bread. La Brea Bakery bakes some mean bread and certain their Italian would be tip-top, I picked up a round.
You know a place takes pride in their bread when even the bag has evidently been considered carefully. Difficult to see in the images, there are tiny breather holes throughout the bag. Conveniently, the bag is resealable. Unfortunately, the corn meal crumbs from the bread sticks to the adhesive and once the adhesive collects enough crumbs it doesn't serve it's original function well.
That's no big deal though since the bread won't be sitting around. It's hard to resist this bread. That's not a bad thing either since there aren't a crapload of preservatives in a loaf.
"Ingredients: unbleached enriched flour (wheat flour, malted barley flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid, water, sour culture, salt, yeast, white degerminated corn meal."
The parenthesis isn't closed, but I bet it's supposed to go after barley flour.
Look at how golden it is.
And it cubes so nicely with it's chewy crust and tender crumb.
La Brea Italian Rounds, all one pound six ounces, available from Stater Bros for $4.99.
