In the fascinating world of French bread, if the baguette is a big city slicker then the Miche is its soulful country cousin. The word derives from an old French word for 'loaf', and is the type of country sourdough that was once baked in large, stone communal ovens in France, but is now made famous by Parisian bakers, such as Poilane and others. Properly crafted Miche such as ours is one of the world's great sourdough breads, with dark chewy crust and complex moist interior. It takes us more than 3 days to make a batch. Where the magic happens is when the living dough marries the sweetness of wheat and the backbone of rye. The sourdough taste is subtle, but just enough to have you craving bite after bite.
Our Miche Bread is best enjoyed warmed, toasted or grilled with olive oil.

Care and Handling of Your Loaf: If you plan to eat it within a day or two, store at room temperature in its original bag. Your loaf will taste best if you buy it unsliced to limit the bread’s exposure to air. Slice it as you need it using a serrated knife.
If you have it sliced by us and want to use it slowly, you can freeze it and put slices directly in the toaster as needed. If you don’t plan to eat the whole loaf within a few days, freeze it and enjoy later. Wrap well in plastic and freeze for up to two weeks. When you are ready to eat it, simply thaw at room temperature. Or better yet, follow the refreshing directions.
To Refresh an Unsliced Loaf: Mist the loaf with water and set directly on a rack in a 400°F oven and warm for 5 to 8 minutes. This will restore the crispy crust to its original glory. Remove from the oven, allow it cool a minute or two, then cut into slices or tear apart and serve warm. Yum!
Please store in a cool, dry place upon receipt. If not consumed in a day or two, please refrigerate or freeze.
Recommended Use: This bread is terrific with soft cheeses, foie gras, and Rillettes. It also makes a great tartine, ham sandwich, and grilled cheese with French Raclette. We only use non-bromated flour and no preservatives, so if you do not enjoy this bread right away, it's recommended that you freeze it.
DLM Artisan Bread is baked and meant to be enjoyed the same day. We understand it's not always realistic to enjoy your bread by day's end, so here are some guidelines to refresh it when needed.
