Our country bread is a hearty, rustic loaf that combines the rich flavors of wheat flour, butter, and a medley of seeds, creating a texture that’s both crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The addition of Bali sea salt gives it a subtle, savory edge, while a touch of cane sugar balances the flavors with a hint of sweetness.
This bread is incredibly versatile, making it a great choice for almost any meal. The seeds—flax, sunflower, and sesame—add an earthy, nutty flavor and a satisfying crunch, making each bite more interesting than your typical loaf. It’s perfect for toasting and slathering with butter or jam for breakfast, or using as the base for an open-faced sandwich topped with avocado, eggs, or smoked salmon.
For lunch, it pairs wonderfully with fresh salads or alongside a bowl of soup, especially hearty vegetable or creamy tomato soups, like ours you can get here. The flavors also complement cheese beautifully, making it a great choice for charcuterie boards, served with soft cheeses like brie or tangy goat cheese, and perhaps some raw honey or fig jam for sweetness.
If you’re looking for a more indulgent option, this bread is perfect for grilled cheese sandwiches or as the base for French toast, where its slightly sweet, buttery flavor comes to life when soaked in egg and pan-fried to perfection.
No matter how you choose to enjoy it, this country bread is the kind that can elevate any meal with its rustic charm and flavorful, wholesome ingredients.
