Pain au Levain

Pain au levain, French for naturally-leavened bread, has been made for centuries in France. Well made specimens are only slightly sour and emphasize the flavor of the wheat they are made with. The wheat in our pain au levain is particularly special. With 75% coming from an heirloom variety called Turkey Red and the other 25% from Gleason Grains here in VT, this bread is positively oozing with terroir!
