A COURONNE BORDELAISE – The Crown of Bordeaux

I wanted to try this loaf from the moment I saw it 2 years ago. The wreath is simply wow 🤩 This French sourdough is definitely a centerpiece-worthy to showcase at a special dinner. Crown Bordelaise can be enjoyed as you would a French baguette – on cheeseboard, such as a boxed Camembert, can be placed in the middle.

My baking is often a weighing in a Norwegian medium “grovt” or medium wholemeal because it’s more filling to the tummy if you’re going to have bread for lunch or dinner.
.
This is a regional bread from Bordeaux, hence Bordelaise, whereas “Couronne” means a crown in French. As a traditional sourdough it has resemblance of baguettes.
.
The crumb is dense and “grovt” with a crunchy crust, especially the “crown” part. I will try to make a video next time and you will get to see it’s blooming like a flower when it’s rising in oven.

If you would like to order, select “S4 – 180NOK” under SPESIELT BRØD SOM DU VIL. You’ll get total of 8 pcs. of boller sized bread when it’s broken up (avg. 22,5 NOK per boller to see it that way).
