Central Market Artisan Breads
I'm new here, so I hope I'm reaching out in the correct area. I attended an Artisan Bread Class over the weekend in hopes to learn to make some of the "Central Markets" breads as Houston is too far to drive just for bread lol. Anyway, I certainly learned some great techniques and received a beautiful sourdough starter. The picture is our class bread basket. At any rate, anyone have / know of a close recipe for the "Oui Love this country french bread" produced by HEB / Central Market? We just didn't have time to cover it and I can't really find anything close to it in the BBA, or I may be too novice and don't realize what I'm looking far. Thanks in advance.

bread? It is probably on their web site. That will give us a good idea of what the recipe should be like. We love CM and niw that my daughter has moved back from Houston - we will likely net see it again for a while:-(
For some reason the ingredient list can't be found on the website just a description of mix of wheat and rye for this bread - no mention of sourdough but they have other French country style loaves that are SD.
The French country loaf ("pain de campagne") is typically 90% wheat flour (all-purpose, for American bakers) and 10% whole-grain rye flour. 10% is the minimum quantity of rye required by law for a bread to be called "campagne," but bakers can put more rye in to fit the taste of their clients. I would imagine that you could start with that proportion of wheat/rye, at approximately 65% hydration, and see how that turns out. From there, you can tweak your recipe to make it meet your expectations. Make sure to profit to the max from the experimentation process !
Thanks so much to both of you for the replies. I could not find an ingredient list online; however, I thought I might drop by the local heb and see if they have any so I can take a look. I experimented a bit last night, it was horrible. But, I'm pretty determined. lol
You could call them. Technically the FDA says that they have to have an ingredient list (and it also must be available upon request). And legally they are not allowed to refuse requests for it.
