Pain de Campagne

Pain de Campagne, or "country bread," is a traditional French bread known for its rustic appearance and hearty flavor. It typically features a thick crust and a moist, chewy interior, achieved through a longer, slower fermentation process. Made with a mixture of white and whole wheat flours, it offers a balance of tangy and nutty notes. The dough's higher hydration and natural fermentation develop complex flavors and a chewy texture, making it versatile for everyday meals. Its artisanal quality and balance between crust and crumb make it popular for sandwiches or simple accompaniments.
