About the dish

Pa de Pagès Català is a type of round bread traditionally made by hand and baked in bread ovens, in the Autonomous Community of Catalonia. This bread has a crisp golden crust and is spongy and soft on the inside. It is usually made using white flour, and during the slow fermentation and baking, it develops characteristic large irregular air holes that give it springy consistency. Another unique characteristic is its ability to retain freshness longer than other types of white bread. The quality of this artisan bread depends mostly on the bakers' expertise and experience. Pa de Pagès Català is a high quality, aromatic bread with pleasant acidity and a complex flavor. It is sold in loaves weighing approximately 1 kg.
