preamble
Menissez French Half Bread from Costco is a common ingredient in many families. I bought it again after a long time, but this time, I have a new way of cutting the bread - two cuts from the top of the bread, with an extra opening, which makes it easier to clip the ingredients, and the fillings won't fall off easily.
When I photographed the buns, I invited my father to join me: he put his right hand in the camera, held the other bun in his left hand, and even instructed me on which plant to photograph. This kind of breakfast is not only about the food itself, but also about the time shared by the family.
Preparation of Ingredients
- Half-cooked bread
- Favorite fillings (ham, cheese, scrambled eggs, vegetables, etc.)
Semi-cooked Bread Baking Method
- Quick Bake MethodBake at 200-220°C for 10-12 minutes → hard and crispy on top, with a thick texture.
- Low Temperature Slow Roast Method: 170°C for 20 minutes, then 220°C for 3 minutes for coloring → crispy on the outside and mild in texture.
Different ways of baking can produce different textures. Those who like "hard crunch" can choose the first one, while those who are worried about too much scratching can choose the second one if they have sensitive palates.
Some people also steam the bread before baking it, which gives it a different texture, so it's worth trying next time.
little reminder
- When cutting the bread, it is recommended to make two cuts to form an opening, so that the filling can be filled more easily and the bread can be avoided from cracking.
- Fillings can be varied according to personal preference, from simple ham and cheese to rich scrambled eggs and vegetables, all of which can bring out different flavors.
Trivia
The beauty of Menissez is its simplicity and versatility. Whether it's hard and crunchy or crispy, with savory fillings, it's a great addition to your family's breakfast table. Interacting with your family during the baking process adds an extra layer of warmth to the meal.
