Bread Service Steps

Setting up the Bread Station

Step 1 ~ Salted Butter set up

  • There should be enough Trays of Ramekins of Whipped Butter to get through the shift check with your managers for the pars on this.

  • Butter should be kept at Room Temperature

  • There should be a Label on the Butter Container with a Time Temperature Stamp on it

  • The Time that it was placed at Room Temp and the Ending Time that it can be held outside of Refrigeration

  • There should be a container of Sea Salt in the station.

Step 2 ~ Bread Drawer set up

  • There should be a soup cup in the bread drawer with a damp towel in it to create a steam effect in the drawer so that the bread doesn’t dry out.

  • Set the Bread Drawer Dial to Number 1

cooking the Bread

Cooking the bread

  • The artisan rolls should be panned up on HALF SHEET TRAYS as shown in the picture Below 4 of each variety on 1 tray

    • This allows for:

      • An equal amount of variety to be heated and stored in the warmer drawer

      • Less bread fired at once will reduce the chances of bread sitting in the drawer for too long to become dry/stale

      • Bread should be cooked for 5 minutes at 350 degrees

Make the Lavosh

  • The Lavosh is not meant to be perfect.

  • It is delicate

  • It comes in 15 inch round circles

  • They should be broken into 6-8 large pieces, gently

Preparing Bread Baskets

Bread Presentation Notes: 

  • Oak to use red linens for bread

  • KG Prime still uses parchment sheets

Standard Issue of bread basket:

    • 1 of each variety ~ The 4 different breads pictured below = Total 4 pieces of bread plus the Lavash Crackers 

    • 3 ea large Lavash Crackers

      • How much bread for the table?

        • 2-4 guests= 1 complete basket

          • Therefore, a table of 6 would get 2 complete baskets

          • Yes, a 2 top getting 4 rolls is overkill, however, this portrays the variety and the abundance. This is typically the first thing we give our guests, it should “WOW” them.  

          • Further being a variety pack case, If we  put 2 rolls in the basket, we will ultimately be left with more of one than the other and we will sabotage ourselves by the end of the night by having too much or too little of a variety

A proper bread basket

1 Sour Dough

1 Multi Grain

1 Rye

1 Olive

3 ea Large Lavosh Crackers

Salted butter at the 3 o’clock position

Note, the bread should be placed tallest to shortest from the back:

  • Lavosh crackers fanned

  • Sour Dough and Rye Bread (standing up long ways)

  • Olive and multi grain rolls 

    • This should be the way the bread faces the guests it a 2 top
