About Faluche Bread
Faluche is a unique bread that doesn't look like most other breads. It's not perfectly round or flat. Instead, it often looks a bit like a small, deflated soccer ball.
What Makes Faluche Special?
This bread has a pale white color and is very soft. It's also quite dense, meaning it feels solid and not airy inside.
How Faluche is Made
Faluche is made with simple ingredients. These include white flour, baker's yeast, water, a little bit of salt, and butter.
Traditionally, bakers would often bake faluche when their ovens were just starting to heat up. This was before they put in the main batches of bread for the day.
How to Enjoy Faluche
People love to eat faluche in many different ways. It's often enjoyed warm for breakfast. You can spread it with butter and jam. Some people like it with cream cheese and smoked salmon.
Later in the day, faluche makes a great snack. Try it with butter and brown sugar for a sweet treat. It also tastes delicious with brie cheese.
