Specials with a twist
If the pandemic has taught retail bakeries anything, it is that consumers
continue to seek out the comforts of foods they know and love. Yet in
addition to traditional favorites, they crave bakery specials with a twist.
And this trend is particularly noticeable in the donut sector.
Churros are an increasingly popular item for snacking and breakfast,
and San Antonio Bakery in Compton, Calif., makes an inventive breakfast
dessert that is popular for parties and morning snacking occasions.
Churro cheesecake is made by San Antonio Bakery's talented pastry
chef Alondra Roman. She starts with a churro coating that covers the
top of the rich cheesecake for a delicious flavor.
" People ask for it all the time, " said the bakery's owner, Victor Martinez.
At Porto's Bakery, one of the nation's largest retail bakeries with six
locations in Southern California, a greatly popular breakfast item is
Cuban-style French toast known as torrejas. The popular bakery makes
torrejas starting with Porto's signature croissant dough topped with
guava sauce and accompanied by whipped cream cheese and tropical
fruit salad.
" It's all about the flavor, " said Adrian Porto, who manages Porto's
newest location in Northridge, Calif., and is the son of co-owner
Raul Porto.
Production on J&J Snack Foods' new ¡Hola! Churros has been
expanded to give foodservice operators a steady, reliable supply of a
variety of churros for the new year. ¡Hola! Churros fulfill the growing
demand by consumers for globally inspired menu items, specifically
desserts, that are sharable and hold well for takeout, for delivery or for
catering.
" ¡Hola! Churros provides operators an easy solution for offering
crowd-pleasing snacks and desserts, " said Norma Jean Abbattista, J&J
Snack Foods' senior director of marketing - foodservice. " According to
Datassential, churros have grown by 147% in the past four years as a
mini-dessert and are the fastest growing dessert overall. "
The new ¡Hola! Churros brand strengthens J&J Snack Foods' existing
position among churro manufacturers by combining the best of two
legacy brands. The new brand elevates the options for unique menu
applications as an easy to prepare snack, dessert or breakfast item.
Available in loops, regular churros and bites, operators can customize
the products with a variety of flavors or sweet fillings.
" Snacking occasions continue to grow as sales opportunities
between main menu dayparts, and ¡Hola! Churros offer a tremendously
easy opportunity, " Abbattista said. " Our churros can be air fried,
deep fried, or baked in minutes and can be very creative carriers of
flavor with dips, glazes, sprinkles and drizzles added by operators to
customize their menu offering. "

sweets, including donuts, coffee cakes, cinnamon rolls, and more. The
