Making dough

We mix water and flour to create the dough, laying the foundation for our signature loaves. Our bakers call this the autolyse process.

The secret ingredient to perfect bread

Why time is

At Le Pain Quotidien, we stubbornly believe the best things take time. While others rush, we embrace the slow art of bread-making with our distinct 24-hour cold fermentation.

Fuller Flavor

Our unhurried process allows the dough to unfold its full potential, creating a rich, layered flavor that can’t be hurried. With 84% hydration, every bite is tender and moist—14% more than typical loaves. And way more flavor.

Better for You

Our bread is not only more flavorful but also easier to digest, as the slow fermentation breaks down gluten naturally. Paired with lower salt content, it’s as nutritious as it is delicious.

Extended Freshness

By taking the time to ferment slowly, we also enhance the bread’s shelf life. The cold fermentation delays the staling process, so every loaf stays fresher, longer. No artificial preservatives needed.

Perfectly Crisp Crust

And then, there’s the crust. The extended fermentation gives our bread that irresistible golden, crunchy crust that makes each slice a satisfying experience.
