Recently, I met up with the Rabbit and scored four loaves: TRAILBLAZER, GRAINWRIGHT GOLD, PISTACHIO BLUE, MISO BALANCE and extras: CINNAMON HONEY APPLE BUTTER , DARK CHOCOLATE ALMOND BUTTER, EXTRA SHARP CHILI CON CARNE QUESO. I got the feeling he loves what he is doing and loves sharing his breads.

These hearty breads, fresh out of the oven, are a treat. The sack was surprisingly heavy and of course the bread smells fill the room. Pro tip - Sharpen your knife before you slice, then pierce with your knifepoint and turn the loaf on its side for ease of cutting though the bottom.

On the way home I visited good friends and busted out the bounty. We cut the loaves in half and sampled each w/o toasting, adding the butters. It was a special moment - like busting out a bottle of Four Roses Single Barrel without the buzz – we were all merry on a Friday afternoon.

Later, I toasted up a thick slice of Grainwright Gold for a turkey sandwich and enjoyed the best deli sandwich that I’ve ever made.

Now, if I were in a market and saw other sourdough for sale, I would keep walking knowing the bread was a week old and I could get Rabbit’s sourdough fresh from the oven. Many of Rabbit’s breads are on the Oschner Eat Healthy list.

My suggestion is to go to the Artist’s Loft on a Saturday and buy whatever varieties Rabbit has that day – if you live nearby, get one or two; if you drive in like I did, get a sack full and share with friends.

Check out BlueRabbitBakehouse.com and the FAQ for freezing individual slices so you can enjoy anytime. Look at the bread ingredients and notice what is not in the bread.

The almond butters are delicious and the Queso is gone. All of Rabbit’s products make great presents for people that can buy anything their heart desires, but cannot buy Rabbit’s stuff because its unknown. I liken his products to Jacob’s andouille and smoked sausage here in Laplace – easily worth the drive and I’ll be back for more.
