I am not familiar with boule bread, but I bake often, especially bread. Family of 7 and all bread lovers . Our favorite is Japanese milk bread.

I need some advice. It is baking related and time sensitive.

A good friend of mine passed away two days ago. He was very old, and was deteriorating very suddenly and very fast, so I’m glad he’s not suffering anymore. That’s not why I’m posting, though.

I’m going to coordinate and see if I can bring some food to the funeral. We don’t know when the funeral will be yet, but I need ideas of what I can bring if the family says yes. So far, the only thing I can think of is funeral potatoes or rolls.

I need some ideas, what kind of food would be funeral appropriate?

Any advice will be much appreciated.

Hmm, I think the answer would very widely in the type of funeral and who is throwing it. If its a more traditional solemn thing then maybe something like cheese stuffed buns, the kind where you bake a bunch of soft buns with either straight cheese or a cheesy mix in the center. Or possibly mini calzones or something like that, small and fairly simple to eat.
On the other hand if its more like the ones my dad throws its more like a family reunion/pool party and they like to have things like a super crockpot of lil' smokeys in BBQ and a whole roast pig lol in that case I might make mini pizzas, or a large Stockport of garlic motz mashed potatoes.
Something safe for both and simple would be honey glazed hawian rolls.

Might ask the family ?

Or cookies, like butter or sugar cookies would also be good for both.

It’s a very big family, so I’ll probably have to ask them what I can bring. That might be best.

I agree. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that.

"Finger foods" usually go over well.

Probably not the ideal time to be experimenting or learning new skills, so ideally make something that you're solidly familiar with.
