The Prepared Pantry Saint Croix Sourdough French Bread Mix - Easy Homemade Artisan Loaf for Bread Machine or Oven Baking | Perfect for Sandwiches, Toast & Family Dinners

Saint Gilles Croix de Vie is a resort town in the west of France. With roots back to the ninth century, this sleepy fishing village has parlayed its clear waters, sandy beaches, and mild climate into a destination of tourists. But it still has its old world charm and great food including rustic sourdough breads. This is an authentic French sourdough bread. With a climate similar to San Francisco, Saint Croix sourdough has a tang similar to the famed breads in San Francisco but with a touch of stone ground whole wheat flour it is more rustic--much like a peasant sourdough with a delightful chewy crust and a creamy, light brown interior with tiny flecks of bran. If you are a connoisseur of fine sourdough breads, youll love this French sourdough.
