Saint Croix Sourdough French Bread Machine Mix
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, you'll love this French sourdough.  This package contains:    One sourdough bread mix that makes a large loaf--approximately two pounds.    An SAF gourmet yeast packet.  You add only water.    Directions and tips for perfect bread.  Editor's note:  This is a sourdough bread, not a French bread.  It is a made with a mixture of white flours and stone ground wheat flour.  The white flour dominates so it is light and moist.
