Crumb is part of a bread’s character. It changes what a loaf is actually like to eat.
An open crumb comes from strong flour, higher hydration, and gentle handling, creating larger pockets, more contrast, and a chewier bite against the crust. It suits rustic-style breads meant to be dipped or enjoyed with something that fills those pockets. 🥖
An even crumb comes from proper shaping and degassing, creating a softer, more delicate texture with a wider, more consistent surface for spreads and toppings. 🍞
Which one do you prefer? Open and rustic, or even and tender? 😋
Here at our bakery, we choose the character intentionally for each bread, so every loaf gives you a different experience. 😋🥯🥨🥪
