Alex Whitman, the head baker at Bread and Butter, has spent his time awaiting the opening experimenting with new baking techniques and recipes. These toasted baguettes are just a small sampling of what he plans to offer.It’s been a long road, but Alex Whitman and Victoria Capdevielle are almost ready open the doors to Bread and Butter, an all-natural bakery in Red Bank.
The two business owners have been working on the brick-and-mortar location for nearly a year. They expect to open shortly after Thanksgiving.
“We want to bring real food to our community. We don’t use preservatives or artificial colorings, and we really want to work with our local farmers and artisans to show off how good the products from this region are,” Whitman said.
The pair has kept busy throughout the opening process, with Whitman in the kitchen six days a week experimenting and creating new recipes and possibilities for the menu. He’s also been creating bread to sell at Velo Coffee on the Southside and Speed Deluxe on Cherokee Boulevard.
Capdevielle, meanwhile, has been working to ensure every inspection and all preliminary work before the shop opens is in order and completed.
