☀️🥖 Bread Season Doesn’t End When Summer Starts! 🥖☀️

Sure, warm bread and soup are perfect in the winter… but sourdough shines just as bright during the summer months! Fresh, flavorful bread is the perfect base for all your favorite warm-weather meals. 🌿🍅

Here are a few delicious summer sourdough ideas:

🍅 Tomato Toast
Thick-cut toasted sourdough topped with mayo or ricotta, fresh garden tomatoes, flaky salt, and basil. Simple summer perfection.

🥪 Picnic Sandwiches
Layer sourdough with turkey, fresh mozzarella, pesto, greens, and veggies for the ultimate park or poolside lunch.

🥗 Panzanella Salad
Cube up day-old sourdough and toss with tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olive oil, and herbs for a bright and refreshing bread salad.

🍔 Grilled Burger Bread
Swap standard buns for toasted sourdough slices and instantly upgrade burger night.

🧄 Summer Bruschetta
Top toasted slices with tomatoes, peaches, whipped feta, or burrata for an easy appetizer everyone loves.

🔥 Grilled Bread
Brush slices with olive oil and throw them on the grill for a smoky, crispy side perfect with BBQ and summer dinners.

Bread isn’t just comfort food, it’s a summer staple too. Grab a loaf, get creative, and make sourdough part of your summer table! 💛Visit cibakehouse.com/find-our-bread for a retailer near you.
