It’s that strange time of year where you are not quite hibernating anymore but aren’t outdoors nearly as much as you want to be. So while you’re still not showing too much skin, take the opportunity to carb load while you can. We tried delicious loaves from around South County, and you’ll want to try them too.
A Nice Slice
“This is the perfect Italian bread,” was the response to the loaf from Colvitto’s Pizza & Bakery. It was just slightly sweet, dense and would go great with a big bowl of pasta and sauce. It would also make a great dipping bread. 90 Point Judith Road, Narragansett. 783-8086
Sharing is Caring
We thought of so many things we would like to eat with the dense and fluffy Sicilian loaf from Palmieri’s Bakery. It would hold up very well to a soup or stew, we wanted to make a meatball sandwich out of it or just have it on the table to break apart during a meal. 247 Main Street, East Greenwich. 398-7360
Green Goodness
The basil pesto bread from Roch’s Fresh Food would pair wonderfully with cheese ravioli or an antipastoplatter. It was rich with copious amounts of pesto rolled into the loaf; you could even see whole pine nuts. This flavorful loaf would even make a great appetizer all on its own. 1183 Boston Neck Road, Narragansett. 284-2900
Chock Full of Delicious
“I would enjoy this packed as a trail snack on a hike,” was the response to the Great Harvest Bread Co. super food loaf. It was yeasty, hearty, full of quinoa, hemp seeds, honey, whole wheat, flax and oat bran and really tasted homemade. Even though it was a wheat bread, the inside was very soft and chewy, which made snacking on it very easy. 6670 Post Road, North Kingstown. 885-0580
The Sweet Side
The Swiss Muesli loaf from Wild Harvest Bakery & Cafe really did not need any butter to fully enjoy it. It was chock full of cranberries, walnuts and flax seeds, in a good way. It was sweet, satisfying and delicious. 5600 Post Road, East Greenwich. 336-3996
