peasant bread
Simple farmhouse loaf
Peasant bread is a rustic, hearty loaf made with simple ingredients—flour, water, salt, yeast—without the refined techniques of artisan baking.
The name evokes European rural traditions where bread was substantial and unpretentious, meant to fill stomachs rather than impress.
The crust is typically thick and chewy, the crumb dense.
She served the stew with thick slices of peasant bread.
