Your next summer fave at the bakery doesn't feature blueberries or strawberries. This July, Breads Bakery is turning its attention to another one of summer’s sweet superstars: the juicy, peak-season tomato. For the entire month of July, the iconic New York bakery is putting a delightfully red, savory spin on its legendary pastry cases with an exclusive, limited-time tomato menu.
If you think tomatoes only belong on a basic salad, Breads is here to delightfully blow your mind. Take, for instance, the Tomato Galette, which pairs sweet cherry tomatoes with a rich tomato jam on a beautifully golden, flaky pastry. Or perhaps you'd prefer to carbo-load with the Tomato Challah —a sun-dried tomato masterpiece braided with love and finished with a luxurious drizzle of olive oil.
For those looking for the ultimate comfort food, the menu also boasts nostalgic treats with an artisanal upgrade. The Pizza Bureka offers crispy layers of pastry stuffed with mozzarella, tomato sauce and oregano, while the Pizza Bagel Stick delivers a perfectly crisp, golden chew packed with herbs and cheese. When lunchtime comes around, dive into a thick slice of tomato-sauce-slathered focaccia pie topped with summer corn, anchovies or melted mozzarella. Or grab the show-stopping Tomato & Feta on Focaccia, featuring fresh tomatoes and arugula sandwiched between za’atar focaccia with a sun-dried tomato spread.
Rounding out the lineup are refreshing kitchen staples like a chilled Gazpacho, a Tomato Hummus topped with slow-roasted garlic tomatoes and pine nuts and a decadent Burrata Salad.
This tomato party is strictly a July affair, so catch it while it's ripe. You can find the full menu at Breads Bakery’s Union Square, UES, UWS and Rockefeller Center locations, with select items making a guest appearance at Bryant Park and Brooklyn Bridge Park. Get ready to take a bite of summer before it's too late.
