If you like sourdough bread and European artisan bread, try this medium sourdough bread with a delightful, chewy crust.

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 in San Francisco but with a touch of stone ground whole wheat flour it is more rustic--much like a peasant sourdough with a delightful chewy crust and a creamy, light brown interior with tiny flecks of bran.

If you are a connoisseur of fine sourdough breads, you’ll love this French sourdough.

This package contains:

One sourdough bread mix that makes a large loaf--approximately two pounds.
An SAF gourmet yeast packet. You add only water.
Directions and tips for perfect bread.

Editor’s note: This is a sourdough bread, not a French bread. It is a made with a mixture of white flours and stone ground wheat flour. The white flour dominates so it is light and moist.

For a crusty bread: This sourdough 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 bake it in your oven: In your bread machine, this mix forms a very moist dough ball--too sticky to handle. You'll want to reduce the water by a couple tablespoons. You can make a wonderful sourdough bread in your oven but it takes a little patience. With less water, this is a slow riser. Allow at least a couple hours for it to rise on your counter.

If you make this bread in your bread machine, water temperature is critical. Please use a thermometer to measure water at exactly 80 degrees. A ten degree difference in water temperature can double the growth rate of the yeast. These bread mixes are satisfaction guaranteed when you use a thermometer.
