Just a quick post today about some of the best bread this side of, well, anywhere.
If ever you are driving up the coast of California between Santa Cruz and San Francisco, be sure to take the 5 minute jaunt off of Route 1 to Pescadero. Arcangeli market sells this artichoke bread, which is heavenly. Seriously. The bread itself is wonderful, the artichokes are delicious, and there’s this salty garlic topping on the bread that puts it over the top.
Plus, I love Pescadero. It’s small, it’s quaint, it’s beautiful.
You’re welcome.
We’ll have to travel south on Hwy 1 just to try it! Thanks for the heads up!
this bread looks like heaven!
I keep looking back at his post, hoping I could have some of this!!!!!
That looks absolutely incredible! And since I’m no where near the coast of CA, I’m now going to have to figure out if I can make something like this.
Moved from California 13 years ago, and the taste of this bread is still in my memory. It truly is amazing. Wish there was a recipe available. Let me know if you ever hear of one.
a recipe would be wonderful – will definitely let you know if I ever come by one!
Had several loaves of this during my trip to CA this Spring. It is absolutely wonderful. May have to get one of my CA friends to pick some up and ship it to me in UT
I’m glad you were able to get some on your trip – I think you may be onto something with having friends ship a loaf (or a few!) 🙂
This is an old thread, but I thought I’d mention that this bread is for sale online now…! http://www.normsmarket.com
ditto what wanders said below – SO glad you let us know! yahooooooo!
Thank you Sarah. I’ve been waiting in Maryland for your post.
Please share the recipe or a similar one!!!
Be prepared to spend an arm and a leg. I bought a jar of marinara sauce ($12.99), bread ($7.00), and 2 bottles of flavored olive oil. Total $52.
definitely a special treat! 😉
