Pain d'Epi

★ 4.920 ratings

This impressive French bread is named for its striking resemblance to a wheat stalk. While it looks complex, the unique pattern is made with scissors using a simple cutting technique. This is a great sharing bread for a dinner party. Alternatively, leave as a log shape and slice to serve.
