SUPPORT A NEW BUSINESS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD: PANERA BREAD

Many of us have been waiting for months to experience the new Panera Bread bakery-cafe that has been under construction in Kentlands. It is now open!

Most of us are familiar with Panera Bread. It is especially nice to have a location nearby. Stop by and enjoy the food. Welcome to the neighborhood!

Panera Bread is located at 285 Kentlands Boulevard, Kentlands, Gaithersburg MD 20878. The phone number is 301-926-0510.

Visit the website for more details on the menu. We love the food. www.panerabread.com

You will also find recipes on the website and you can share them with your friends. The following is a sample that looks good to me!

Delight guests with this fruity bread pudding made with our signature Cinnamon Raisin bread.

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 loaf Cinnamon Raisin White Bread torn into bite-size pieces
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup pecan halves
Zest and juice of 1 large orange
1/4 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon vanilla extract or rum
8 small baking apples (about 2 pounds) such as Fuji, Gala or Granny Smith, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 cup apple, quince, or blackberry jam or jelly

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
  3. Add the bread and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until well coated.
  4. Add the sugar, pecans, orange zest and juice, cider, and vanilla extract.
  5. Cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes until a sauce begins to form.
  6. In a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, layer the bread mixture with the apples and dot the top with the jam or jelly.
