VIENNA BREAD
Vienna bread is made like a simple French bread, but with the addition of milk and
butter for flavor, softness, and an extra day’s fresh keeping. However, it does not have
the crisp crust of breads made without butter. It has been a favorite bread in France
since the Revolution. It gets its name from once having been made with Vienna flour, a
premium white flour. This bread was a favorite of my father, who was a connoisseur of
white breads.
