Score With Krusteaz Flatbread For The Big Game
Simple, Delicious Mixes Bake in 10 Minutes Flat* and Are the Perfect Base for Football Party Fare
SEATTLE, Jan. 13, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Culinary experts at Krusteaz – maker of premium baking, pancake and waffles mixes – predict pizzas, sandwiches, and turnovers made with flatbread will top football fans' menus for parties. Since introducing its line of easy-to-make flatbread mixes in popular flavors like Garlic & Onion, Italian Herb and Whole Wheat, Krusteaz has experienced immense success in the category and anticipates continued growth in the New Year.
"2014 was a big year for flatbread, and early sales data from our new line indicates that consumers are embracing the option to create flatbreads at home," said Andy Heily, SVP Sales & Marketing, Krusteaz. "Flatbread is an incredibly versatile pantry staple, and we see its popularity only increasing in 2015, starting with more fans incorporating it into their Big Game menus."
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the Sunday of the Big Game is "the second highest day of food consumption in the U.S." More consumption means the need for more options. For party hosts looking for simple flatbread recipes to quarterback their game-day menus, Krusteaz has curated a list of simple and tasty appetizers, pizzas and main dishes that are sure to satisfy while still giving party hosts plenty of time to enjoy watching the game.
Tasty Turnovers, Dips & More
First down on the table: flatbread appetizers. Before the turnovers start on the field, party hosts can whet fans' appetites with their own Game Day Cheeseburger Turnovers or Fiery Bruschetta Bites. Both are fan favorites.
Need the perfect dip? Try Krusteaz's White Bean & Parsley, Hot Reuben or Hot Caesar dips, best served with warm Krusteaz Flatbread.
Forget Pizza Delivery. Make Flatbreads!
While pizza makers huddle in preparation of the year's biggest pizza delivery day, fans can create delicious flatbread pizzas right at home. Recipes like Krusteaz's Grilled Flatbread Pepperoni Pizza and even light recipes like the Little Guilt Grilled Flatbread and Thai Chicken Flatbread with Homemade Light Peanut Sauce showcase simple ingredients that will be winners with fans of all ages.
Jennifer Sbranti, entertaining guru and founder of Hostess with the Mostess, suggests hosting a flatbread social with Krusteaz Flatbread Mix and making her BBQ Chicken Flatbread Pizza.
"On game day, I'll add my team's colors to my flatbread social table by displaying my pizza toppings in festive containers and garnishing drinks with multi-colored straw and party flags," said Sbranti. "The Big Game is a big day in our house, and I'll be reaching for my Krusteaz Flatbread mixes since they're the perfect canvas for some of my guests' favorite foods."
