Pain Poilâne Club 1 Year Pre-Paid Membership

Description

Every week we import a variety of bread (and cookies!) from Poilâne bakery in France. To make their iconic sourdough loaf, the bakers at Poilâne only use carefully selected stone-ground local grains, and follow an ancestral slow fermentation technique with their natural sourdough leaven. The process of stone-grinding the grain preserves the nutrient-rich wheat germ, and allows for removal of the impurity-susceptible wheat bran. Their wheat flour is also unbleached, retaining more nutrients from the kernels than white flour. The only mechanical tool used in the creation of their bread is a kneading machine. Otherwise, their skilled bakers perform every other meaningful gesture by hand—shaping, weighing, placing in the oven.

The baking of all Poilâne's products takes place in their wood-fired brick ovens. The refractory bricks that make up the ovens' interiors allow for a gentle baking of the bread, due in part to the bricks’ high water absorption. Exposing the loaves to this dry cooking environment creates the distinctive crust that Poilâne's breads have. The long baking time also releases the aromas of the high-quality flour, give their simple creations deep flavor.
