There’s something extra fun about food that looks as good as it tastes. That’s exactly what makes a Bread Art Experience such a creative way to gather with friends, play with your food and make something delicious along the way.
With Tastefully Simple’s Bountiful Beer Bread Mix®, favorite seasonings and colorful fresh veggies, a simple loaf of bread becomes your canvas. No artistic skills required! Whether your design is carefully planned or perfectly imperfect, the fun is in creating it together and eating it afterward.
What Is Bread Art?
Bread art takes inspiration from decorated focaccia, where vegetables, herbs and seasonings are arranged on top of bread dough to create colorful designs before baking. Think flowers made from tomatoes and peppers, leafy stems of fresh herbs, garden scenes or even a holiday-specific design. As the bread bakes, the toppings roast and the seasonings add even more delicious flavor.
And with Bountiful Beer Bread Mix®, getting started is simple. There’s no need to make bread dough from scratch, leaving more time for the best part: decorating!
Gather Your Friends for a Bread Art Experience
A Bread Art Experience is part get-together, part creative activity and part delicious Tastefully Simple tasting.
Using a colorful assortment of sliced vegetables, fresh herbs and Tastefully Simple seasonings, everyone can create their own edible masterpiece. You can make one large design together or give everyone a smaller section or individual bread to decorate. When you use a variety of colors, shapes and textures of fresh veggies and herbs, the creativity will soar.
Bread Art Design Ideas
The design options are endless. Some examples include:
Colorful Flower Garden
This classic bread art design is easy to customize. Use halved cherry tomatoes or pepper rings for flower centers and thin strips of bell peppers for petals. Green onions, chives or rosemary sprigs make beautiful stems, while parsley and basil can become leaves.
Finish with a sprinkle of Seasoned Salt or Garlic Garlic™ Seasoning for an extra pop of flavor.
Initials, Shapes & Simple Designs
Use vegetables and herbs to make initials, hearts, stars or simple geometric patterns. This is an especially fun option for birthdays, showers, holidays or other celebrations.
Seasonal Bread Art
Let the time of year inspire your masterpiece. For fall, arrange peppers and onions into leaves, pumpkins or harvest-inspired designs. During the holidays, create a Christmas tree from fresh herbs with colorful veggie “ornaments.” In spring, fill your bread with flowers and garden designs. For summer, create a sunshine, beach scene or bright garden bursting with colorful veggies.
Add Flavor with Tastefully Simple Seasonings
The decorations may get all the attention, and don’t forget the flavor!
Tastefully Simple seasonings make it easy to give every bread art creation its own personality. Try Garlic Garlic™ Seasoning for plenty of savory garlic flavor, Onion Onion™ Seasoning for a classic onion kick, Seasoned Salt for an everyday favorite, Rustic Herb Seasoning for more garden flavor or Italian Garlic Seasoning for an Italian-inspired loaf.
You can even set out several seasonings and let everyone choose their own flavor combination.
