     The following information hereby amends and supplements the Report on
Schedule 13D, originally filed on January 3, 1994, as amended by Amendment No.
1 filed on August 5, 1996 (the "Schedule 13D"), with respect to shares of
Common Stock, $.0001 par value (the "Shares") of Panera Bread Company (formerly
known as Au Bon Pain Co., Inc.), a Delaware corporation (the "Company").

     Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized terms used but not defined
herein shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D.

   Item 1.  Security and Company.

     The response set forth in Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and
supplemented by the following information:

     The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 7930 Big
Bend Boulevard, Webster Groves, MO 63119.

   Item 2.  Identity and Background.

     The response set forth in Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and
supplemented by the following information:

     All references to Morgan Stanley Group Inc. and MS Group in the Schedule
13D shall hereinafter be understood as references to Morgan Stanley Dean Witter
& Co. and Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, respectively.

     The name, business address, present principal occupation or employment,
and citizenship of each director and officer of Morgan Stanley Dean Witter and
PGI Inc. is set forth on the amended and restated Schedule A (the "Amended
Schedule A") attached hereto. All references to Schedule A in the Schedule 13D
shall hereinafter be understood as references to the Amended Schedule A.

     Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, through its wholly-owned broker-dealer
subsidiary MS & Co., no longer makes a market in the Shares and no longer holds
on behalf of customers Shares over which it exercises discretionary authority.
The 150,000 Shares of which Morgan Stanley Dean Witter may be deemed to be the
beneficial owner constitute the Shares obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants
acquired by Princes Gate L.P., the Co-Investment Partnership and the Investors.

   Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

     The response set forth in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and
supplemented by the following information:

     Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, through its wholly-owned broker-dealer
subsidiary MS & Co., no longer makes a market in the Shares and no longer holds
on behalf of customers Shares over which it exercises discretionary authority.

     On June 14, 1999, the Company redeemed $30,000,000 in aggregate principal
amount of the Notes held by Princes Gate L.P. for a redemption price equal to
the outstanding principal amount.

   Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Company.

     The response set forth in Item 1 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:

     As a result of the Company's redemption at par value of $30,000,000 in
aggregate principal amount of the Notes:

     (a) Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, for the purpose of Rule 13d-3 promulgated
under the Exchange Act, beneficially owns 150,000 Shares obtainable upon
exercise of the Warrants at an exercise price of $5.62 per Share, representing
approximately 1.39% of the outstanding Shares (based on the sum of (1)
10,616,382 Shares reported by the Company as outstanding on November 9, 1999 in
its report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended October 2, 1999 and (2)
150,000 Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants);

                                  Page 5 of 7


<PAGE>



     PGI Inc., for the purpose of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange
Act, beneficially owns 150,000 Shares obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants
at an exercise price of $5.62 per Share, representing approximately 1.39% of
the outstanding Shares (calculated as described above); and

     Princes Gate L.P., for the purpose of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the
Exchange Act, beneficially owns 112,392 Shares obtainable upon exercise of the
Warrants at an exercise price of $5.62 per Share, representing approximately
1.04% of the outstanding Shares (calculated as described above).

     Except as set forth in this Item 5(a), neither the Reporting Persons, nor
any other person controlling the Reporting Persons, nor, to the best of their
knowledge, any persons named in Schedule A hereto beneficially owns any Shares.

     (b) Because Morgan Stanley Dean Witter, through its wholly-owned
broker-dealer subsidiary MS & Co., no longer makes a market in the Shares,
Morgan Stanley Dean Witter no longer has sole power to vote and dispose of any
Shares. Morgan Stanley Dean Witter has shared power to vote and to dispose of
150,000 Shares obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants as a result of its
ownership of PGI Inc.

     PGI Inc. has sole power to vote and to dispose of 26,785 Shares held on
behalf of the Investors and shared power to vote and to dispose of 123,215
Shares obtainable upon exercise of the Warrants held by Princes Gate L.P.
and the Co-Investment Partnership.

     Princes Gate L.P., acting through its general partner PGI Inc., has shared
power to vote and to dispose of 112,392 Shares obtainable upon exercise of the
Warrants.

     (c) Inapplicable.

     (d) Inapplicable.

     (e) On June 14, 1999, the Reporting Persons each ceased to be the
