PAIN EPI



The word ‘epi’ in French refers to a stalk or ‘ear’ of wheat, which is how this bread got its name since the final product resembles a stylized ear of wheat. It is made out our sweet dough, and it is initially moulded into the shape of a baguette. These breads rise in lightly floured cloth couches, which leave a light dusting of flour on their surface. Before being loaded into the oven our skilled bakers quickly cut the baguette along the sides, creating a decorative pull-apart loaf. The crumb is airy and soft, with crunchy tips on the individual ‘grains’ and the flavor is mild and yeasty.


Suggested Uses: The little ears on the Pain Epi can be torn off to become individual servings, which makes it nice for sharing at the dinner table. The individual rolls can then be used to sop up the juices from your dinner, eaten with olive oil and vinegar, or even used to make little



RUSTIC COURONNE



Our Rustic Couronne, which is ‘crown’ in French, is made from the Rustic Sweet Dough. Its crust is chewy and its crumb is airy and slightly irregular due to an extended leavening time that allows the bread to expand and become fluffy. The flavor is subtle, slightly yeasty, and makes it great for a variety of recipes.


Suggested Uses: The Couronne has a decorative appearance, and can be displayed on the table at your next dinner. You can put a bowl in the center of the Couronne and fill it with any number of dips that will pair well with the Rustic Sweet Dough’s mild flavor – tapenade, hummus, or tzatziki just to name a few that we like.



RUSTIC SWEET BATARD



Rustic Sweet Bâtard is made out of a simple sweet dough, leavened with a long-fermented bakers’ yeast sponge. The fact that this product is hand moulded adds to the rustic quality of the loaf.
