fooled by this basket full of bakery favorites. Preserve your favorite bagels,
breadsticks and rolls and use as a warm and inviting centerpiece.
You will need:
8 - 10 bread rolls in assorted sizes, shapes and varieties
1 baguette-shaped roll
2 - 3 large bagels
4 small bagels
2 breadsticks
clear acrylic spray
cloth dinner napkin
12" round basket
527 cement (available in art supply stores)

Tip
Choose breads in different sizes, shapes (round, knotted, baguette) and varieties
(pumpernickel, marble, rye, sesame seeded, poppy seeded). Purchase lower
priced, day old baked goods.
Preserving
Air-dry the breads in a warm, dry place until completely dry and hard, about
three days. Spray the breads completely with clear acrylic spray to seal
them and keep out moisture. Let dry.
Arranging
Place the napkin in the basket. Arrange the preserved breads in the basket
until you find an attractive combination (photo). To keep the preserved breads
from shifting, glue the individual breads to each other: Carefully lift each
piece of bread and apply a small amount of the 527 cement to join each bread
to the pieces next to it.
You might have to remove the top later of breads to glue the breads beneath;
replace and glue the breads in the top layer after the breads in the bottom
layer have been glued.
