Once upon time… the Méteil! 

Pain de Méteil is a traditional French bread made from a mixture of rye and wheat flours, typically in equal proportions (50% rye and 50% wheat). The name “méteil” originates from the Old French term mestel, which referred to a mixed crop of rye and wheat grown together in the same field. Historically, this blend was a practical choice for farmers, ensuring a dependable harvest even in challenging conditions.

This bread is known for its rustic character, combining the hearty, tangy flavor of rye with the lightness and elasticity of wheat. Pain de Méteil is typically leavened with a rye levain starter, which not only enhances its complex flavor but also gives it a slightly denser texture and longer shelf life compared to pure wheat bread. Its crust is usually firm and golden, while the crumb remains moist and chewy.

J'adore!

Pain de Méteil is more than just bread; it’s a connection to European heritage. It pairs beautifully with savory dishes, such as charcuterie, cheeses, or soups, and its distinct taste also complements sweet spreads like honey or jam. With its natural longevity and nutrient-rich ingredients, this bread embodies the best of artisan baking.
