C’est quoi ce truc?

Wooahh- qu’est-ce que c’est ça dans la cour?

Turns out it’s this – a piece of bakery machinery. This is what happens I guess when you live above a boulangerie.

It results in bread with a crunchy crust, irregular air cell structure and a creamy colour which give it a more rustic feel, reminiscent of old-style bread.

It’s like the Great British Bake Off living here, honestly.
