Why a topping should suit the base beneath it
The idea
The topping and the bread beneath it have to work as a single serving. A moist filling, a spreadable herb mixture and a cheese topping place different demands on the base. Choosing a topping only for its flavor can overlook how the completed bakery item will eat.
A practical next step
For a home experiment, change one topping on a familiar base and notice both taste and texture.
