French sourdough bread
Today I have to plan a French day. I present to you a classic Pain Au Levain. Coarse-pored crumb and a thick crunchy crust is explosive. Remember how in the song: "How delightful evening in Russia... and crunch French bread"? Personally, I doubt that Russia ever had baked French roll. Here always preferred quite a fancy "to victory in meten, sour cream meshon, but in oil of praan" bread, finely porous thin-crust, and on holidays, and on weekdays simple - rye. But just sing - so you know ;) thanks for the recipe Michael (crucide).
