country loaf
Hearty artisan round
A country loaf is a rustic bread with a thick crust and chewy, open crumb, typically made from a mix of white and whole wheat flours with a long fermentation.
The style evokes traditional European peasant breads—substantial, crusty, and slightly tangy from natural leavening.
