  1. Hi Pennylane, I don't think it is exactly the same bread since it didn't taste particularly rye-ish, and it had flax seeds. But it certainly looks like it is in the same family. If you do want to go to the bakery, it is right outside of the Mairie des Lilas metro station, is quite small, and the bread itself is usually displayed on the actual counter to the left of the cash register. It either comes in a short stick or a small round loaf. You could ask the woman at the counter for a bread that is something like "feuillette des bois". We appreciate your sleuthing! Hannah
  2. Joe - I can't really tell if it is on your map as the quality of the image is not good enough for me to see the individual breads that well...is there anywhere else I can see the map? Pennylane - It could be that - the bread we had looked a bit different, but I assume that there would be a range of appearance due to individual bakers own styles....what is the name of bread in the picture? Thanks! Hannah
  3. We just got back from two weeks in France, and at the local boulangerie in a Paris suburb, we got hooked on a delicious bread. I can't remember what it was called - perhaps pain du bois feuillette or something like that....I'd love to try to recreate it at home, but can't find a recipe since I don't know what it was called. It came in either a baton or a small round loaf, was dark brown in colour, had a texture like a croissant in that it had many thin layers, was quite buttery, but whole-grainy, with flax seeds. It also had sour undertones. Thanks in advance! Hannah
  4. I'm so glad you found Au Kouig Aman - they make the best croissants in Montreal, and better than many I've had in France. We'll use your very helpful list for our daytrip to Montreal this weekend.
  5. Never....in order to create the perfect crust on bread, seal the oven vent, and pour boiling water into a pan on the bottom shelf...result? Cracked oven window. ....place cast-iron frying pan on burner on high for "a second" to dry, then leave the house for an hour or so.
