AZ Boutique presents you, in this section, our beautiful selection of bread plates combining elegance and at the same time robustness. Do you know why do we use a bread plate instead of putting our bread directly on our dinner plate which can be a flat or hollow one? Allow us to give you a clue! It has nothing to do with table decoration or about hygiene. In fact, bread has earned its own plate because it symbolises work and labor. You must have heard the famous saying about earning your daily bread? Bread is the only food that has this symbolism. It must be elevated to a higher rank to honor the work of the hosts. This is how it earned its own plate over time, a plate with the same physiognomy as a flat plate but with a smaller diameter. This same plate can also be used as a butter plate or a small breakfast plate.

Where to put the bread and butter plate?

Yes, it is also known as bread and butter plate for some as they uses the plate for both purposes. If you have an attraction towards beautiful tableware, you must certainly know that there are certain rules to respect when you do place setting like placing your plates and cutlery. They have to be in a precise order in order to respect the rules of fine dining especially during a formal dinner like a wedding for example.

Among the habits and customs to respect table setting and place settings, it is to be noted that a space of 60 centimeters must be respected between each guest.

The plates: To begin the setting, the plates are placed 1 or 2 centimeters from the edge of the table. Never place more than two plates on the presentation plate. The presentation plate is removed for the cheese service. The soup plates can be placed beforehand. The bread plate is placed on the left above the forks.

When serving bread at a meal, the bread should not be presented as a whole, but rather into pieces of about 4 to 5 centimeters thick and then placed in a basket in the center of the table.  As for the design of the bread basket, there are several options: a traditional wicker basket for a formal dinner or even a metal one in different colors to match your table decoration if you are organizing a less formal event. If you are planning a cheese platter, it is a good idea to offer a bread basket filled with different types of bread to your guests to enhance the cheeses’ flavors served.
