Sourdough bread

These plain and cereal breads celebrate the art of working with sourdough: The cereal breads are baked in molds for a gourmet crumb and an optimal development, while the plain breads come in a “pavé” or a “bâtard” shape, with pretty scoring patterns, showcasing the work of a Best Craftsman of France (MOF).
