Artisan Rustic French Bâtard

$15.00

This item was made with organic, gluten-free, dairy-free, and egg-free ingredients.

Inspired by the classic French bâtard shape, this rustic loaf features a deeply caramelized crust and a tender crumb—all without gluten, dairy, or eggs. Instead of traditional wheat, the Bakehouse blends a thoughtfully balanced mix of gluten-free whole grains and pseudo-grains, creating layers of flavor and nourishment with a hearty, rustic depth in every slice.

Leavened with yeast and slow-fermented for flavor development, this hand-shaped and banneton-proofed loaf boasts a crisp crust that ever so slightly crackles as it cools with a soft, satisfying interior perfect for slicing, toasting, or tearing by hand. Whether paired with olive oil, layered into a sandwich, or served alongside a warm bowl of soup, this bâtard delivers the charm of old-world breadmaking—reimagined for modern dietary needs.

  • 1 loaf

  • Weight: 832 g (29.35 oz.)

  • Dimensions: 3” H x 6” W x 9” L (yields 12-14 slices)

    PLEASE READ: Benoit Bakery is a microbakery operating under the Texas Cottage Food Law. All items are produced in a kitchen that also processes wheat, milk, eggs, nuts, soy, and other common allergens. While every effort is made to prevent cross-contamination, this cannot be guaranteed. Please consult your licensed healthcare professional before consuming any food that may be at odds with your allergies, intolerances, and/or sensitivities.

  • Because this loaf is made without preservatives and in small batches, enjoying fresh or freezing the same day of purchase are recommended for peak freshness and flavor.

    • Room temperature (1-2 days): Wrap the loaf in either a clean kitchen towel, a paper bag inside a bread box (better), or beeswax bread bag (best). Avoid airtight plastic, as it softens the crust and encourages moisture buildup. Bread stored at room temperature will be best in 48 hours and may last up to 3 days as the texture begins to firm.

    • Refrigeration (NOT recommended): Refrigeration exacerbates the staling process, especially in gluten-free breads. This will be evident by an extremely dry crumb and overall dense bread. If you must refrigerate, wrap the loaf very tightly in a clean kitchen towel before placing it in an airtight container. Refresh by toasting before serving.

    • Freezer (2-3 months): Slice the loaf and wrap it tightly in parchment paper before placing in a freezer-safe bag. Refresh by toasting from frozen or thaw at room temperature. Once thawed, you also have the option to revive the crust in a 350°F (175°C) oven and heat for 5–10 minutes.
