Fall is baking season. And, one way to keep all the quality and flavor, but save yourself time and extra steps is with French Picnic Pastry Crusts. They are every bit as good as homemade.

Leadbetter’s French Picnic is the ultimate flaky, buttery pastry dough. Produced locally in San Francisco with organic flour and 100% pure butter, French Picnic pastry is perfect for both an elegant or rustic presentation. The dough comes frozen and thaws in just 10 minutes. Ideal for use in sweet and savory recipes such as pies, tarte tatin, galettes, quiches, pot pies, and vegetable or fruit tarts.

French Picnic Pastry Crusts come pre-rolled into circles that fit 9″ standard, 9 1/2″ deep-dish plates, and 9 1/2″ French tart tins.

Nancy Leadbetter opened the first Leadbetter’s Bakery in Portland, Maine on July 4, 1931. The award-winning Leadbetter bakeries drew loyal customers from throughout the local community and state of Maine, and were famous for the family’s hearty English muffins. Now, almost 85 years and four generations of bakers later, Jamieson Leadbetter has brought his family’s baking tradition to San Francisco.
