While called 'French bread' in Brazil, Pão Francês is a distinctly Brazilian adaptation of European, likely Portuguese and French, bread-making techniques. The exact origins are debated, but it's believed to have emerged in the early 20th century as Brazilians sought to replicate the crispy crust and soft interior of European breads they had seen abroad. Influenced by advancements in milling and baking technology arriving in Brazil, it became a staple.

Pão Francês offers a simple yet satisfying flavor profile characterized by subtle sweetness, a touch of saltiness, and a noticeable yeast fermentation flavor.
The primary flavors are derived from wheat flour, water, yeast, and salt. The long fermentation process contributes to a more complex flavor profile, resulting in a slightly tangy and nutty taste. The crispy crust provides a textural contrast and adds a slightly caramelized flavor note. There's usually no added sugar, but the fermentation process breaks down starches into simpler sugars, lending a subtle sweetness.

High Hydration
A higher water content in the dough is crucial for achieving a light and airy interior. Experiment with hydration levels to find what works best for your flour.
Proper Proofing
Adequate proofing allows the yeast to develop flavor and create gas, leading to a well-risen and textured bread. Avoid over-proofing, which can cause the bread to collapse.
Steam is Key
Introducing steam into the oven during the initial baking stage helps create a crispy crust. This can be achieved by placing a tray of hot water at the bottom of the oven or spraying water into the oven several times during the first few minutes of baking.
Scoring
Scoring the loaves before baking allows them to expand evenly and prevents them from bursting. Use a sharp knife or lame to make a shallow cut along the length of the loaf.
Flour Quality
Using a good quality bread flour with a high protein content is important for developing gluten strength and structure.
