Bread is the latest ‘it’ food in Metro Manila

HOMEMADE sourdough bread
Bread has become the latest obsession in Manila, which can only be a good thing. Pan de sal was recently featured in Saveur, described as “pillowy-soft,” though it needn’t be; the best has the merest semblance of a crust and a mature, slightly fermented, decidedly non-industrial interior.
I used to buy mine from Kamuning Bakery in Quezon City, which no longer uses a wood-fired oven; the closest old-fashioned pan de sal to Manila is Lipa, and the best, they say, is still that of Panaderia de Molo in Iloilo.
Two notable bakeshops are Paul in Taguig and Eric Kayser in Makati.
Eric Kayser opened its first branch inside Rustan’s Supermarket in Rockwell, Makati. Around Christmas last year, the bread lines could have been from a Soviet famine. People would stand in crowds waiting for the baguettes to come out of the oven, and when the trays emerged we would all rush forward, waving our “ration” coupons.
Kayser’s baguette is the classic Parisian baguette, with soft but springy crumb, and a thick, hard crust that quickly gets soggy in our humid atmosphere, but needs just a few minutes in the oven toaster to be once more crunchy and sublime. This, I feel, is the bakeshop’s masterpiece, and that alone justifies its existence.
Its other main draw are the croissants, which also need about two or three minutes in the oven toaster (under a sheet of aluminum foil to prevent the top from burning). Both are not just as good, but better than the average baguette or croissant in Paris, though not as great as the very best you’d get in Paris.
The baguette and croissant are urban inventions. In France, bakers do an afternoon bake for people to take home to dinner, because the best baguettes shouldn’t last more than a few

Paul’s baguette hours. If they do last longer, it’s an ominous sign that preservatives have been added to keep

    Although Kudler Fine Foods has been experiencing significant growth, the organization does have competitors. However, Kudler Fine Foods employs a variety of tactics to remain competitive within the market.

    Magnolia Bakery offers four new items on its already extended list of products. These are four different kinds of bread. The choices of bread were carefully chosen to offer quality and healthy benefits. The choices are: Baguette, Black Bread, Focaccia and Bagels. Each one of these types of bread has a particular texture and taste that will give to the customer a great breakfast experience: Baguette is a thin loaf of French bread with a crisp crust, very characteristic of France. The Baguette is made with wheat flour and no added additives; Black Bread, or Rye Bread, is made with various quantities of flour from rye grain. Rye is a cereal grain, which gives a dark color and more dense texture from the wheat flour breads. This bread has important qualities because it holds a substantial amount of fiber and small amount of fat. This is good bread for diabetic patients since it doesn’t cause a spike in blood sugar, as the other breads do. Focaccia Bread is another option. This is a more flat bread topped with olive oil and herbs. The texture of Focaccia Bread is similar to the pizza dough, and it is made with high-gluten flour. Our Focaccia will be have supplements with nutritive value and low calories using little amount of olive oil. And for last, but not least-the Bagel-all American breakfast bun. Bagel is yeasted wheat dough bread first boiled and then baked. Bagel will be a product that can be…

    Making a croissant isn't as simple as slapping down dough, and popping it in an oven. The conception of a croissant takes impeccable skill, patience, and most importantly, practice. The dough has many demands that must be met, any slight error and the pastry is doomed. The dough must be flattened into a rectangular shape, and a square slab of butter must be placed upon it. This mixture must be placed in the fridge for a few hours then taken out and folded twice like paper. Afterwards, it must chill for a few more hours, then the folding and chilling process repeated until you have a beautiful rectangular slab of dough with 27 layers. This may appear simple and straightforward, however, only the most skilled bakers can pull this off. Making a croissant takes real effort and patience, which is why I can't help but enjoy it so much, and appreciate the work that goes into each one every time I buy a croissant from a…

    Rice cakes have been added to the list of street foods in the Philippines some vendors travel around a compound to sell them, and are not only a convenience for those without time to cook or an economic phenomenon that flourishes during hard times. It is a lifestyle. Nineteenth century prints, paintings and accounts of the Spanish era by foreign travellers, pay notice to the wayside vendors of carabao’s milk, rice cakes and fruits. The vending continued into the era called “peacetime – before World War II – when in the district of Manila, one could find meals and snacks on the sidewalk: puto and bibingka just cooked and Japanese halo halo mixed to order. During the Japanese occupation economic stress brought out such imaginative solution to privation as castanyog – a piece of coconut meat roasted on live charcoal, aspiring to the flavour and texture of chestnuts (castanas) – and binatog – corn…
