Item of the Day:  Frothy Monkey Whole Wheat Bagels

Frothy Monkey Whole Wheat Bagels

Frothy Monkey has been a staple in the Nashville community since 2004. You can count on Frothy to deliver quality, creativity, and approachability in everything they create whether it be in one of their cafes, at their coffee roastery, or their bakery. Their relationships with farmers and others who care about where ingredients come from is at the center of who they are.

In true Frothy Monkey fashion, their bagels are made from simple, thoughtfully-sourced ingredients. Each bagel requires a three day process to achieve artisan perfection, and they use their Sourdough starter to yield a rich and deep flavor profile with a pleasant, lingering finish.

Frothy Monkey bagels have the perfect balance of flavor and texture. A Frothy Monkey bagel is delicious on its own, or served up toasted with cream cheese. With their soft, chewy texture and fantastic crust they also make a tasty sandwich even better.

Item of the Day: Alfresco Frozen Pizza Dough

By | Baking, Breads, Chef's Feed, Gourmet, Item of the Day, Local, What Chefs Want

Alfresco Frozen Pizza Dough

From Alfresco: “We use only the best, hand-picked ingredients, perfected recipes, detailed processes and customized, handcrafted Italian pasta machines to make our pasta. We hold our products, people and facilities to the highest standards for safety, consistency, performance and taste.”

Alfresco Pasta uses only unbleached, naturally aged flour in our recipes. The unbleached flour has a rougher texture, and a darker color. The natural aging helps develop the gluten and produce a better pizza crust.

TO USE: 

1. Thaw dough slowly in refrigerator before use. This process is called ”cold fermentation”, and we recommend 3-5 days at 38-42 degrees F for the perfect crust, although 24 -48 hours will work fine. This gives the yeast time to react with the sugars and produce very good gluten structure as well as a delicious flavor. Keep in mind fermentation that goes beyond 5 days is not ideal, as your dough will begin losing its ability to rise properly.

2. Remove dough from refrigerator and proof at room temperature or in a proof box until dough rises. Dough can be proofed in the morning for lunch service, and early afternoon for dinner service.

3. Roll Dough to order, score with a dough docker if needed and bake immediately.

4. We recommend rolling the crust thin, but a medium to thick crust will yield good results as well. 5. Adjust your oven temp accordingly until you achieve a crispy outer crust, with a pillow-like, chewy interior.
