Up the creek without a paddle

One of my classes has an assignment where we need to imagine our own bakery and pick out fourteen menu items. This is a long-term assignment, and we will need the recipes for all of them for various parts of the project. The menu is due tomorrow.

I? Have barely picked out a tentative theme. I had a disorganized potential list of items to go on the menu, but they didn't really have much of a connection aside from "I rather like these things," and a theme is something I could really use for this assignment.

Unfortunately, I am now nearly out of time and am barely closer to figuring out what I want to do. I'm leaning towards a breadhouse that specializes in somewhat more savory stuff, things you can take for lunch or that would make a heartier breakfast than your average muffin. (Though I am totally including maple bacon muffins. Cupcakes? Wev. That one thing.) I just need to figure out, oh, way too many items to include on the menu now.

*sigh* Maybe if I put a bunch of bagels on the list...

Bagels are definitely cool. Um. Is zucchini bread savoury? I've never had it. Maybe things like filled breadrolls? I know that in Japan they'll do things like putting curry in bread, or maybe the kind of rolls where there's meat or other proteiny things baked inside?

I picture it as basically banana bread but with zuch instead of banana, though I could be wrong.

I definitely wanna do filled breadrolls. I actually have a recipe for Chinese steamed buns I got from class and was planning to include that - maaaaaaybe with a sweet red bean paste option, because yum! I'll definitely have to check into other options.

Oh, man, zucchini bread! ♥ Not really savoury, though.

Not quite a "filled roll", but when I hear bread + lunch I start thinking about those soft pretzel-bun things that make such great hot ham-n-cheese sandwiches; wish I could buy those where I live. D: Pretzels in general might be a good thing to include; they make a great snack or (scaled up) a great bread product that can be dipped into a variety of sauces (people like customising, right?) and they can have sweet variants, too.

I love pretzel bread. And soft pretzels in general, though I don't actually like them with extra salt on top. I'll definitely add those to the list.
