Trader Joe’s has all the shapes in our bakery section: circular bagels; slender baguettes; flat-breads... We thought it was about time we got around to boules. Trader Joe’s Sourdough Boules not only bring their unique ball shape, but they also bring delicious bread that rises to so many excellent eating occasions. Our Boules are made with a wild yeast Sourdough starter and long fermentation, to build a light, airy crumb— and to yield the slightly nutty, slightly tangy taste that one expects from sourdough. The seven-ounce, round loaves—about five inches in diameter by three inches tall—are baked until the crust is golden brown and delightfully chewy, with a satisfying, open crumb. All these traits mean Trader Joe’s Sourdough Boules are great sliced and toasted for breakfast with TJ’s Cultured Salted Butter and Organic Reduced Sugar Strawberry Preserves. For lunch, try some topped with a Teeny Tiny Avocado. Speaking of shapes, you can cut a Boule into cubes and toast them for the best croutons you’ve ever had on your salad! And if soup is on the menu, why not turn your Boule in to a bowl, then fill it with TJ’s New England Clam Chowder. However you choose to enjoy it, you’re guaranteed to have a Boule!
