Pain de Campagne au Beurre (Country Bread with Butter)
Pain de Campagne au Beurre (Country Bread with Butter) is French home cooking, eaten at breakfast. On the plate it is the dish at the centre. Below is what usually sits beside it, what it does and does not contain, and what else to cook once you have made it.
Ingredients
- 2 slices pain de campagne (round country sourdough loaf)
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 pinch salt
How to cook it
- Cut two thick slices from a round pain de campagne loaf, the denser, tangier country bread many French households buy alongside or instead of a baguette.
- Toast the slices lightly if you like a bit of crunch, or leave them as they are for a softer bite.
- Spread a generous layer of butter over each warm slice so it melts slightly into the crumb.
- Add a light pinch of salt if using unsalted butter and you prefer it a little savoury.
- Serve right away with coffee, a heartier stand-in for a thin baguette on a busy morning.
