This is a fine European sourdough, a French sourdough!
Don’t think of this as a French bread; it’s a country loaf, an artisan bread from France. It’s got a tang but less than a San Francisco sourdough bread. It is delightful.
Saint Gilles Croix de Vie is a resort town in the west of France. With roots back to the ninth century, this sleepy fishing village has parlayed its clear waters, sandy beaches, and mild climate into a destination of tourists. But it still has its old-world charm and great food including rustic sourdough breads. This is an authentic French sourdough bread. With a climate similar to San Francisco, Saint Croix sourdough has a tang similar to the famed breads of San Francisco but with a touch of stone-ground whole wheat flour, it is more rustic–much like a peasant sourdough with a delightfully chewy crust and a creamy, light brown interior with tiny flecks of bran.
If you are a connoisseur of fine artisan breads, you’ll love this French sourdough.
Add this to your cart and get ready for some incredible artisan sourdough bread. For a crusty bread: This artisan bread naturally forms a more chewy crust than other mixes and a “medium” crust setting will be adequate in most bread machines. To maintain a chewy crust, store your bread in a paper bag, not plastic. (In plastic, the bread sweats and softens the outer crust.)
If you like sourdough and European artisan bread, try this sourdough bread.
