Yes, I know it’s warm outside right now, but you’re still craving autumnal flavors, right? We’ll have some season-correct sandwiches for you this saturday night at @sagebrush.rosedale. 

First is the Friendsgiving: cornbread mayo, cranberry sauce, turkey, and sharp cheddar on sourdough ciabatta. It’s like the ideal version of the black friday leftover sandwich, without all the work of making those dishes the day before. 

Next, the Pacific Northwest: honey crisp apples, caramelized onion and fennel, aged white cheddar, sour cherries and pickled fresno chiles. You don’t have to be vegetarian to love this one— honestly it’s got me questioning if sandwiches even need meat.

Swipe to see the full menu. And don’t forget to come through THIS SATURDAY AT 5PM. Grab a cocktail from Kansas City’s favorite new bar, Sagebrush, and sample the whole menu. Bring a friend. It’s better with friends. taken in Sagebrush Rosedale by @breadfriends.co

Seasons change! It’s inevitable. And probably on everyone’s mind this week as we wake up to cooler temperatures.

It’s on my mind too, as the seasons are changing here at Bread Friends HQ. It’s the first Wednesday in a long while that I haven’t been up at the crack of dawn to boil and bake sourdough bagels to deliver to our partner cafés around town. After over a year and a half, I’m putting wholesale operations on pause and getting back into the writers’ room for the next season of Bread Friends. (Yes, I know I’m mixing my season analogies, but that’s just how we do it here.)

What’s next? I can’t share too much right now, but expect more bread (new grains! new bakes! new flavors!)— and all of its friends (in the “herbed butter is a friend of bread” sort of way, and the actual “human friendship” sort of way, too).

Lastly, and most importantly, I want to say thank you. To our friends at @gardenhouse.cafe, @penrosekc + @chingucoffeeco for serving our products, lending a supportive ear, and always being open to my weird ideas. And thank you to anyone who went to one of those cafés and tried a sourdough bagel. I rolled over 6,000 of them by hand during this last season, and knowing that they made their way to you has made it all worth it. I’m so glad you got to enjoy them, and I can’t wait to serve you again very soon. It’s better with friends.

It looks like a good morning for a pretzel bagel, sweet chili schmear, and a coffee at @penrose_kc. Also tomorrow morning looks like a good morning for a pretzel bagel, sweet chili schmear, and a coffee at @penrose_kc.

SOMETHING NEW THATS SWEET AND SALTY AND NUTTY AND COMPLEX BUT ALSO NOT TOO COMPLEX

This is the cardamom sugar sesame salt bagel. And it’s available at @penrose_kc now. (And if you have any better names for this one, please drop them below.)

I know many of you like the sourdough cardamom buns that we’ve offered at popups and at Penrose in the past. We’ve put those back in the bread friends vault for the season, but this may scratch the itch. 

And even if it doesn’t, I still think they’re pretty tasty ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ by @breadfriends.co

A true choose-your-own-adventure bagel. What’s your favorite side? The flaky sea salt? Or the toasted poppy seeds? 

You can find the poppy seed bagel today at @gardenhouse.cafe and @penrose_kc ! by @breadfriends.co

Early one morning in 2017, I was walking to catch a bus in Stuttgart, Germany and saw what looked like the perfect pretzel in the window of Bosch Bakery. I quickly ran in to grab one, and from that point on, I’ve considered pretzels fair game for breakfast. This isn’t that pretzel, but it is the bread friends sourdough pretzel bagel. A fresh batch just touched down at @penrose_kc and you can try them there. For breakfast. Or lunch. Or whenever, really. by @breadfriends.co

BAGELS. 

Someone recently asked me how I would describe bread friends bagels. I used to call them Montreal-style, but once I switched from wood-fire to a gas oven I started calling them Montreal-inspired. But as the time has passed, the honest truth is that they’ve changed quite a bit from those first bagels we sold at a popup in 2021. 

Here’s what I know:

They’re 100% sourdough— no commercial yeast in sight. It’s a fickle thing, but I think the natural fermentation yields a better flavor and makes them easier to digest. 

They’re made with a blend of high-protein flours for an extra-chewy bite. This is something I’ve tweaked a lot over time, and still have some work to do here. 

They’re rolled by hand. No two bagels are the same, so your experience is always going to be unique. 

They’re boiled in honey water. This adds a little sweetness and color to the crust, and helps the seeds stick. (Sometimes. Not always. I’m working on that.)

So what do I call them? Honestly I’m still not sure, but I’m open to suggestions. I’d like to think there’s nothing quite like it here in Kansas City, but at the end of the day I just hope you enjoy them. They’ve got em at @gardenhouse.cafe, @penrose_kc and @chingucoffeeco. by @breadfriends.co

ONE MORE THING: the sourdough cookie. Made with brown butter + dark chocolate, then topped with flaky sea salt. It’s chewy, gooey, and a little bready? (And I mean that in the best way— you’ll just have to try it yourself this Sunday at 12pm at @gardenhouse.cafe) by @breadfriends.co

The “spring garden” tartine, made with the freshest produce we could find at the farmers market. A sea salt bagel, served open face and topped with green garlic schmear, asparagus, snap peas, radish, pea shoots, and olive oil. Served with a lemon wedge for extra zing. Try it this Sunday at noon at @gardenhouse.cafe. by @breadfriends.co

Curried chicken salad on a turmeric bagel. When @gude_food and I started talking about sandwiches, we quickly agreed that our favorite sandwiches all have one thing in common: sprouts. (RIP to sprouts on the Jimmy John’s menu.) So yeah, you better believe we’re going to give you the most gratuitous amount of alfalfa sprouts we can on this one. This curried chicken salad is so good, and the cumin, mustard and caraway seeds inside the turmeric bagel pair so well. Can you tell this one is my favorite? Get yours this Sunday at 12pm at @gardenhouse.cafe. by @breadfriends.co
