I dunno, what else will be served with the bread? Beverages, fruits, etc.?
Tomorrow I'm serving two types of bread and I'm looking for ideas for accompaniments in the way of compound butters or spreads.
First is a honey walnut bread. It's about 20% whole wheat flour and it's got a mildly toasty flavor in addition to the sweetness of the honey.
The second is a red pepper and smoked cheddar bread. It's in the mild sourdough category, so it's chewy and slightly sour.
Any ideas? What, if anything, would you want to go along with it?
Your breads sound wonderfully flavorful, so I'd keep it quite simple. For the honey walnut bread, I'd be inclined to do a slightly sweetened honey- butter made with sweet cream butter. For the red pepper and cheddar bread, just plain unsalted cultured butter, since it has a bit of a tang.

I would go with contrasts. For a sweet bread, try something tangy. I'd probably have some blue cheese with that. For the pepper and cheddar, the blue cheese would overwhelm it. I agree with the others, simple butter or maybe plain yogurt to add a sour touch.

Yup. I may just go with honey butter for the walnut bread. Simple enough.

That's the first question to ask, isn't it? Unfortunately I have no idea. I was hired to do just the breads. I still have no info on what else is being served.

A good bread dunkin style soup? Say clam chowder or a chicken with rice.

I completely agree. Simplicity would be best, especially considering there's already a lot going on in the sourdough/red pepper/smoked cheese bread 🙂 If I were cooking for myself that's exactly what I'd do.

I've been thinking about those breads, and wish I had some right now!
