âNew year, new look!âWeâre putting bread away again (temporarily) to honor our 2025 #animalofthemonth program by taking a tour around the world. This year, weâll focus on foods from the country or region where our animals are found. And weâre starting off the year with Pork Belly Tacos al Pastor to honor the mighty Bolson Tortise đ˘, a native of Mexico. Chef Justin took his first trip to LA this past summer and the awesome food at street taco stands out there are the stuff of legend and the pastor is arguably the king of tacos out there. And so it was for us. PS: Making fresh tortillas for our tacos was a great stand-in for the lack of actual bread here becauseâŚwell, even without bread we still love carbs. #tulipstreetkitchen #animalnotbread #tortilla #tortillapress #alpastor #animalbread

This monthâs #animalbread, specially made to honor the #galaxyfrog for đłď¸âđ month, is a real stunner. We first made rainbow croissants back in early 2018 to celebrate the Rainbow Mantis Shrimp, and they came out great even then. But boy howdy has our photo and video game improved since then. And how could we not bring them back to celebrate Pride Month? Letâs also take notice of the amazing work photographer Meg did on the doodle this month. (Chef Justin is usually just a tracer and we all know it. She really raised the bar on this one.)Thanks also to @walnuthillcollege for the use of the sheeter. It made rolling and laminating an absurd amount of @kerrygold butter into this dough a real pleasure. Just. Look. At. Those. Layers!! Lastly, to the Galaxy Frog: we still know almost nothing about you. But, you are tiny. You are beautiful. You are mysterious and we are so very glad to have learned that you exist.
