Bread is one of the most conventional baked goods all around the globe. However, it can also be said to be one of the most plain-looking. So, the primary delight is in eating bread and not looking at it. But not for long! There is a bread trend that has recently surfaced. It is a fusion of art and culinary dexterity birthed on social media. With this new trend, photos of bread may just overshadow other baked goods. This trend was made popular by a famous Instagram baker, @vineyardbaker. According to her bio, her specialty is to put "the art in artisan breads."
Her page, which is largely followed, stays true to that with the numerous photos of bread and other baked goods intricately decorated with colorful veggies and spice.
Her most recent work has everyone in awe; she has added a beautiful and unique design to plain focaccia bread using notable veggies. The product is the bread that offers a stunning view, much like a scenic painting.
The Vineyard Baker fondly terms this creation, "Vincent Vandough," which hints at the source of her inspiration, renowned Van Gogh paintings.
She uses toppings like kalamata olives, fresh herbs, sweet peppers, capers, grape tomatoes, and a few more others to create scenery with color tones, much like the typical Van Gogh painting.
She further assures that the bread is as tasty as it is beautiful. It is creative minds like the Vineyard Baker that are making decorating bread a trend.
As for how she achieved the now-viral creation, the Vineyard Baker shares a vital tip to let your creativity reign. There are, however, a few key points to note; one is making sure to let the bread rise before pressing in the toppings and making sure they are dry before use.
