  • About

Pane Francese Hails from northern Italy, and its name directly translates to “French bread.” As the name implies, this bread has a history connected to both the Romans and the French. Its substantial and hearty golden crust, combined with the open, moist crumb structure, is very much in the style of a French country bread. The size and shapes of these small breads and their very easy formula make them highly recommended for the beginner.
