I watched the Engine 2 Kitchen Rescue recently and a bread was mentioned by Rip's Mom, Ann. She's a terrific, inventive cook, so basically anything she makes I like to try! She mentioned the name of the bread while making a sandwich, but did so quickly, so I couldn't make out what she was saying. Turns out, it was "Mestemacher" bread :)I found it (by accident) at Whole Foods and it's going to become a regular purchase. It's particularly good toasted. I do an old trick my late grandmother used to do: toast 2 pieces and then rest them on the top of the toaster until they harden up, almost like a cracker.
I use the bread for making rustic sandwiches topped with chickpea spread, cukes and tomatoes.
Below is a little blurb about the company. Enjoy!
