At Levain, we use French flour and also Poolish, a yeasted pre-ferment, in the production of our French breads. This increases the extensibility of the bread dough for increased loaf volume in addition to more complex flavours.

Our French breads have: 

• No preservatives/stabilisers 
  
• No bread improvers
  
• No additional sugar

• No enhancers/flavourings
  
• No acids/sour powder
  
• No corn meal

• No eggs
  
• No added oils/fats/shortening
  
• No dairy 

All Italian breads have:
