Christmas is just around the corner, and we all know that means a busy calendar of catch-ups, parties, and family gatherings. But entertaining doesn’t have to be stressful! This festive season, let Bakers Delight NZ help you create a stunning spread with our Artisan Range.
Our Artisan loaves are crafted with passion and care, making them the perfect centerpiece for your Christmas platter. Their beautiful crust and rich flavour stand up perfectly to a variety of festive toppings. Try our Sourdough with a selection of local cheeses and chutneys, or our Turkish Bread alongside a festive dip and cured meats.
For something extra special, slice up one of our Artisan Loaves and create some delicious crostini. Top them with fresh mozzarella and basil, or roasted red peppers and goat cheese for a simple yet elegant appetiser.
🌟 Pro Tip: The Ultimate Christmas Platter: A Step-by-Step Guide 🎄
Step 1: The Bread Base
Start by thinly slicing your Sourdough or Ciabatta loaf. Arrange these slices around the platter.
Step 2: The Centrepiece
Place a central dip (like cranberry and cream cheese) or a bowl of gourmet olives on the board. This will serve as a focal point.
Step 3: The Cheese Selection
Fill the empty spaces with a variety of cheeses. Include both soft cheeses like brie or camembert and hard cheeses such as cheddar or aged gouda.
Step 4: The Meats
If preferred, add a selection of quality cured meats like prosciutto or salami to balance the flavours.
Step 5: Add Colour and Texture
Fill in any remaining gaps with brightly coloured fresh fruits like grapes, figs, and berries. Add a handful of nuts for a delightful crunch.
Step 6: The Finishing Touches
For an extra festive look, garnish your platter with a few sprigs of fresh rosemary before serving. This simple addition adds a beautiful aroma and a holiday feel!
