Sister Schubert Interviewed for Food Network’s “Unwrapped”

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

15united-600

Sister Schubert recently enjoyed a visit from the  producer and camera crew for Unwrapped who are creating the tenth season of this favorite Food Network show. During a full day of filming at her main bakery in Luverne, Alabama, Sister told them almost everything there is to know about baking her signature yeast rolls as the crew filmed employees placing every single roll they produce in the pan by hand.

Sister was interviewed about how she started Sister Schubert’s Homemade Rolls based on her grandmother’s heirloom recipe for homemade yeast rolls. She talked to the writers about the art and science of creating yeast rolls from scratch, including the importance of using quality ingredients like fresh milk, eggs and butter – and never any artificial ingredients or preservatives.

Production wrapped up after the cameras captured a few scenes of Sister’s children and grandchildren devouring her fresh homemade yeast rolls.

The episode is due to air sometime in 2010. Stayed tuned for further details.

Copies of Sister Schubert’s new cookbook, Cast Your Bread Upon the Waters, have been selling like hot cakes––or hot rolls! In the short time that the book has been out, Sister has done several book signings that have each met with smashing success! This week she was in Northwest Florida and they gave her a very warm welcome. On October 1, Sister was the guest speaker at the Mattie Kelly Arts Foundation’s Fall Women’s Art Guild Luncheon at Embassy Suites in Miramar Beach and attendance was the highest it has ever been for one of these events!

The next day, Sister went over to Sundog Books in Seaside for a book signing that far exceeded everyone’s expectations! Of course, homemade samples of Sister’s Cinnamon Toasted Roll Bites and iced tea and lemonade were pretty enticing to any passerby!
