THE SINGLE SERIES: PUMP STREET BAKERY CHOCOLATE

Feb 8, 2016 | Collaborations

On February 8th, Crosstown launches a limited edition chocolate doughnut in partnership with award winning bean to bar UK producer, Pump Street Bakery. The collaboration is the third in Crosstown’s Single Series range, which uses select single origin ingredients from like-minded partners to create a range of unique premium doughnut flavours.
The new doughnut combines Crosstown’s chocolate sourdough with Pump Street Bakery’s Ecuador Hacienda Limon 75% dark chocolate in 3 ways to showcase the intense flavours of the bean; a dark chocolate custard filling topped with a chocolate ganache and finished with a sprinkling of dark chocolate shavings. Crosstown selected this particular chocolate for its rich, arthritis dark flavour and notes of caramel, roasted coffee and honey – flavours that typify a bitter-sweet chocolate lover’s doughnut.

The collaboration is the third in Crosstown’s Single Series range, which uses select ingredients from like-minded partners to create a range of unique premium doughnut flavours. The partnership draws focus to Pump Street Bakery and Crosstown’s shared passions for both sourdough and chocolate. Both producers also have a strong focus on handmade processes, and using quality seasonal ingredients.

The Single Series

The Single Series is an on-going collaborative project launched by Crosstown. The concept will see Crosstown pair select ingredients from premium brands, to create limited edition unique flavours of doughnuts that celebrate the best of flavour in single origin/sourced produce. The first Single Series kicked off in November 2015 with three ingredients to create three separate doughnut flavours; Coffee, Whisky and Chocolate.

Doughnuts or Donuts?  – The creme de la creme of pastry predicaments. The distinction between ‘Doughnut’ and ‘Donut’ is a matter of elegance and refinement, much like choosing between an aged Bordeaux and a contemporary Napa Valley red. The term ‘Doughnut,’ with its rich and classic spelling, harks back to its 18th-century origins, embodying the traditional art of baking, a sense of sophistication, and a tribute to time-honoured traditions. On the other hand, ‘Donut,’ is its chic and modern counterpart, popularized by the iconic American brand in the 20th century, representing a more casual, contemporary approach to this delectable treat. While both represent the same luxurious indulgence, ‘Doughnut’ carries a slightly more formal and traditional tone, while ‘Donut’ encapsulates a more relaxed, modern, and playful spirit. Whichever spelling you choose, you’re indulging in a timeless confection, a symbol of sweet extravagance.
