We had a valid threadjack going in the Enduro thread which was unfortunately locked due to being on topic. So let's get back to the threadjack at hand and delicious bread coming from Cigalert.
Discuss:
Now think bigger....like wine mustard and ham on a pretzel that's big enough to be a sandwich. Only the dough is made from a nice buttery brioche and topped with coarse sea salt and an egg wash. (seriously, if you want some I'll probably have about 2dz extra tomorrow)
What weekend is the enduro?

Cig was kind enough to bring over a few rolls yesterday for us to sample. I don't know if he has names for the two varieties he brought, but I gotta tell you, the lighter version (vs more dough like version) was off the hook delicious. They were still kind of warm when we got them and they went fast. I saved one and later yesterday popped it in to micro for 15" slathered a little butter inside and it was like pretzel roll heaven. Incredibly delicious. Thanks Cig, I think you might be on to something with these!

Thank you and good to know what I need to work on tomorrow. i dropped a few samples to friends and it's nice to hear feedback. The process is fairly shored up but a few changes based on thoughts is still in the works. For a soccer mom this is a simple thing to make. When you need 8-12k a day it's a totally different story.

No, the only major ads I see with my products are on billboards.
Years ago I got a request from the chef in diamond club to make pretzel baguettes. I outsourced it at the time due to the labor it takes to make something like this (still to this day, I'm not surprised by the craze...it was an incredible sandwich I had on a pretzel baguette). Now, every friggen major brand is doing it, the boat has already left and is pretty much heading back to port...I'm playing catch-up with something that probably won't have any traction a year or 2 from now. So in my R&D I'm trying to make something with a little more longevity. A pretzel flavored bread but not as heavy as traditional pretzel buns (hence Hotboats view about a lighter/heavier bun....I gave him both). I believe, if I make something that's light and fluffy but has a pretzel flavor it will not only have more of a life but put me into a portion of the market the big guys can't even think their way around. Not saying I'm smarter but I know I'm more flexible based on processes.

Another 50lbs will be made thursday. Some of it is going to sample request from customers but I have a feeling I'll have about 15-20lbs left over. It's trash if nobody claims it.
