Cake Flour is now selling some truly exceptional breads! I picked up a loaf of french bread and a loaf of hearty bread today and both were quite good! I had picked up a loaf of hearty a week ago on a day-old sale, and it was just as fresh as the day it was baked. Furthermore, I inadvertently left it out overnight on the counter sans wrap and it maintained freshness despite my negligence. The hearty bread is dense and makes an amazing sandwich or toast.
The french bread was great! The crust is flavorful with a nice bite and the crumb is airy and chewy. A pat of soft butter and you are in business.
With CF so close to my house it looks like I have a new daily bread store!
