About Sourdough Boards with Dips and Spreads

A sourdough board is a brunch built as a gift. Bread baked that morning, sliced, with spreads, cheeses, salatim and something pickled arranged around it — it lands on a table and becomes the meal without anybody cooking. It is the most photographed thing on this page and, unusually, deserves it.

The reason to order it locally is the same reason to order sourdough at all: the bread has to be fresh that day, and it will be. It suits a housewarming, a Sunday morning with guests, a new couple's first weekend in a flat, or an office that wants something better than pastries. Kashrut is on each store's page; most of these boards are dairy.

What people usually send

  • A brunch for a house with weekend guests
