PAIN DE PARIS
Baguette dough used to be called pain de Paris, or Parisian bread. The French Bread
cycle will give this dough three full rises with rests in between called autolyses, which
are terribly important for developing the gluten structure, and therefore a good, chewy
texture and strong flavor. While this dough is best when formed into the familiar long
rod (program for the Dough cycle in Step 3 and see Technique: Shaping Long Loaves
of Pain de Paris for Oven Baking), it can also be fully baked in the machine as in-
structed here. It has a traditional French starter known as a pâte fermentée, or “old
dough,” a pre-ferment that is as thick and silky as a bread dough. This is a delicious
bread, which I am very proud to share with you.
