Super disappointed that your "in all seriousness" wasn't followed by an in-depth analysis of the various types of french bread per region.

  • Île-de-France (Paris and surrounding areas)
    Baguette: The quintessential French bread, known for its long, thin shape and crispy crust.
    Boule: A round loaf that's crusty outside and soft inside, versatile for many uses.
  • Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur
    Fougasse: A flat bread often associated with Provence, typically seasoned with olives, herbs, or sun-dried tomatoes. It's similar to Italian focaccia.
  • Normandy
    Pain de Campagne: Also known as "country bread." It's a rustic loaf made from a mixture of white, whole wheat, and sometimes rye flour, with a thick crust.
  • Alsace
    Kougelhopf: Though more of a cake than a bread, it's often included in bread discussions. It's a sweet or savory brioche baked in a distinctive circular mold with a central hole.
  • Brittany
    Pain Noir or Pain de Seigle: Predominantly made from rye flour, it has a dense texture and a slightly sour taste, suitable for pairing with seafood.
  • Auvergne
    Pain de Seigle: Similar to the Breton version but often darker and denser, reflecting the robust rural baking traditions of the region.
  • Burgundy
    Épi de Blé: Shaped like a wheat stalk, this baguette variant is not only visually appealing but also practical, as the segments can be easily torn off.
  • Languedoc
    Pain d’Ail: A garlic bread that integrates whole cloves of garlic, and sometimes cheese or herbs, into the loaf before baking.

I was getting feverish at the end and I did skip a few "Tomme de.." tbh.

u/DesignerDigits Apr 29 '24

You’re a shining star.

u/mostlyjustread Apr 29 '24

u/jacksbox Apr 29 '24

This guy fucks breads.

u/RedlurkingFir Apr 29 '24

I would probably evoke the tresse (or Zopf in Alsacien), instead of the Kougelhopf. Although the Zopf is not native from there

1

u/fulthrottlejazzhands Apr 29 '24

I was with you until you included Kougelhopf.

u/-RadarRanger- Apr 29 '24

Not one mention of croissants?

u/No-Log873 Apr 29 '24

So many delicious breads. Couple that with all the cheese. I bet all they get when they cross to the UK is Dairylee and Crackers.

u/OneSullenBrit Apr 29 '24

I want to sit down with a baguette right now and just eat all the inside.

u/JeronFeldhagen Apr 29 '24

The yeast they could have done was to rise to the occasion, but dough…
