Bread is back, gang!

I reopened the online store Saturday morning and there are already several orders placed by the early birds. This is shaping up to be another week where I might hit production capacity early.

Don't wait until Thursday night to place your order!

I hope everyone is having a good holiday season! Things are cooling off at Planter's House finally and I can begin to get in a little relaxing time with my New Year's Eve tradition of Smørrebrød, bubbles, and MST3K.

The rugbød loaf has been the biggest surprise this year.I don't know if my yearly smørrebrød post has anything do with it, but I'm super excited to see people explore the more old-world and esoteric side of bread. It's been a real challenge to keep up with that loaf. Between that loaf, the classic rye loaf, the pumpernickel loaf, the cookies and the gingerbread, I've gone through an astounding amount of rye flour this year.

In any case, Happy New Year, friends. Thank you for giving me a reason to enter into my SIXTH YEAR of doing this. The loyalty to patronizing my humble and modest small business and the enthusiasm people express to me makes all this worth it. I know you could hear really good bread at any number of bakeries in town, but the fact that you are willing to place an order and patiently until the weekend to receive it means a lot. Thank you, again!

All smørrebrød starts with a slice of rugbrød and butter:

1. aioli, waxy potato, gem lettuce, bacon, shallot, chive

2. shrimp, egg, avocado, pickled tomato, mustard, dill, lemon zest

3. roast beef, parsnip rémoulade, pickled onion, sprouts, fried shallot

4. chicken liver pâté, beet tartare, mushroom, granny smith, walnut, celery leaf

Greetings, friends!

Don't forget; This week is the last week of bread before the second holiday break. That means this is also the last week for Cranberry Walnut Loaf and Rye Gingerbread.

I've already had a handful of early bird orders for this week, so don't wait until Thursday if there is something that you really need or want.

See you in January, gang. Have a happy holiday season!

There are only a few more days to get your orders in for the Thanksgiving menu! Be sure to place them before 9p on Friday.

Important note: if you placed an order already, you should have already been sent an invoice to the email that I received your order from. Some invoices are still floating around, unpaid. All unpaid invoices will be canceled at the end of the day on Saturday, so be sure to check your email or spam folder, in case it slipped past you. If you think that you were not sent one, be sure to send me another email and we'll get to the bottom of things.

Thanksgiving pre-orders have begun coming in. Breads, pies, my famous sweet potato brioche rolls, and babka. Only nine more days to place your order!

Also, I said I would update you on the status of my work load and whether or not I would be able to offer bread this weekend, and the status is that I am definitely not going to be able to make bread this weekend. I still have a long way to go until we're prepped up for the holiday pop-up bars and Tuesday opening day. I'm sorry for the lapse in bread availability and I hope you all understand. Regular bread will be back after Thanksgiving weekends though!

Okay, gang.

I have good news, bad news, and good news

The good news: for the months of November and December, Cranberry & Walnut Loaf is available as a seasonal special!

The bad news: I started writing my holiday bar prep list for Planter's House and my work load will almost certainly require my attention for all of next week. I cannot stress how much work goes into this change over and it is all on my shoulders. Unfortunately because of this, I will not be able to offer bread for next weekend pickup. As I get closer to next Thursday, if it looks like I'm ahead at the bar. I may be able to squeeze in some last minute orders. Just keep your heads on a swivel. I'll be sure to post something here on Thursday morning if it turns out that I can fit in some bread orders.

The good news: Thanksgiving preorders for bread and pies and babka are open until Friday 22, nov at 10p. Pick ups are on Wednesday 26, nov. This may be your only other chance this month to order bread for the limited menu. Order details are on the bread website through the link in the profile.

I also need to get this post up. If you're a newer patron of Upper Crust Bread, it's important that you know that it has always been a one-person outfit. And I, as the sole human behind Upper Crust Bread, have a separate, primary job at Planter's House where I bartend and manage all the cocktail related prep and production.

During this time of the year, there is a major transition from the regular menu to the holiday bar pop-ups and I usually have my work cut out for me with everything on the PH/Sippin' Santa side as well as some of the Miracle StL items. Everything gets super spicy for the next couple of months, but I try to at least get a mostly firm bread schedule for you all to reference.

So, here it is. Don't be fooled by the word "break" either. I'll still be next deep in something bread or bar related. Please also keep in mind that this is about 85% guaranteed. If bar things look like they may become overwhelming, I may have to change the availability a bit, but it shouldn't come to that.

Just keep me in mind if you visit one of the holiday bar pop ups this season. The fella that makes your bread almost certainly made your drink or something that's in it, hah
