Ficelle Crustades- Make a "skinny" bread loaf using bread flour, yeast and water. This bread can be used for many bread options. See photos above for ideas. The crustades are on the left. It is mini bread basket filled with cheese filling. The filling is butter, cheddar cheese and bacon bits topped with mayo, chopped onion and grated parmesan cheese, then baked until cheese bubbles. The photo on the right is ficelle bread cut at an angle, filled with a creamy dipping sauce then crisp veggies. Delicious!
