Bread is a daily part of my life. I am a home baker, even when the outside temps creep into the 100s, and I adore the smell of the house when something delicious is in the oven. As a result, sandwiches are a favored snack. Empire Baking Company is also one of my local favorites — so when this recipe fell into my inbox, I had to share.
This July, Empire Baking Company will feature a Brioche Pull Apart Loaf as their Bread of the Month. Every month the team at Empire comes together to create a new, innovative, and delicious bread to feature. This month, they have graciously shared this recipe for Smoked Salmon with Lemon Crème Fraîche — and there we go with three of my favorites in one dish!
Enjoy!
