Fig & Walnut Sourdough Bread

Bold, Earthy & Irresistibly Complex

Our Fig & Walnut Sourdough Bread is one of the most celebrated loaves from Boulangerie Christophe, a French artisan bakery where patience and craft are baked into every loaf. Generous pieces of dried mission figs and toasted walnuts are folded throughout the dough, creating a stunning contrast of sweet, jammy fruit and rich, earthy crunch — all wrapped in a deeply tangy sourdough crust.

Slice into this loaf and you'll find a mosaic of figs and walnuts nestled in an open, irregular crumb. It's the kind of bread that turns a simple cheese board into something truly special.

The Art of Slow Fermentation

Every loaf begins with Boulangerie Christophe's prized wild yeast starter (levain) — a living culture that has been carefully maintained and fed daily for many years. The dough is hand-mixed, then left to undergo a 24 to 48-hour cold fermentation. This slow, patient process allows the wild yeasts and natural bacteria to develop a rich, complex flavor profile and an open, irregular crumb structure that simply cannot be achieved with commercial yeast.

Hand-Folded & Stone-Baked

After fermentation, the figs and toasted walnuts are gently hand-folded into the dough to preserve their texture and distribution. Each loaf is then hand-shaped, scored, and loaded into a stone-hearth deck oven. The intense heat creates a deeply caramelized, crackling crust while keeping the interior soft, moist, and richly studded with fruit and nuts.
