French Mountain Bread
The traditional peasant bread of France.
Just ask for "Mountain Bread" when you call. This loaf vies with Farm Bread for top spot on many of our customers' list of favorite breads. We offer it in two sizes, a .75 kilo loaf (about 1.65 lbs) that’s good for munching and a two kilo (about 4.5 lbs) work of art.
Personally, I love the two kilo loaf. A good foot and a half across and four or five inches high, each is decorated with a hand-cut "Z." It has a chestnut colored crust that's nearly a quarter-inch thick. Its size is significant because bigger loaves almost always taste better. Baked to last, you’ll still be enjoying the two kilo French Mountain Bread ten days after the loaf has left our oven.
Both are totally terrific for toasting. Try some with Michigan Farm Butter and Fleur de Sel sea salt.
If you know a fan of European peasant breads, you might want to send them our Peasant Bread Gift Box.
