Best type of bread for this dish?

Question

What do you think is the best type of bread for a peach tartine? ( http://www.theworldwidegourmet.com/recipes/crispy-peach-tartine/ ) If you have ever eaten these before and you have a preference tell me please, because I want to make sure the taste of the bread doesn't clash with the peaches and sugar.

Answer 1

I'd probably go with french bread or dessert shell or shortcake biscuit.

Answer 2

I would think this would go best with a shortcake (sweet biscuit) rather than a bread. The bread just doesn't seem right!

Answer 3

I have tried this with Thomas' Toasting Bread, couple days old so it's a little dry & stale ( it worked out great!!) Your don't want to bake alot of things with fresh breads, because they get too soggy.

Answer 4

French bread or sourdough

Answer 5

the bread not being sweet or cake like really adds to this dish...I use a wheat berry,or an 8 grain with sunflower seeds ...I like the texture.

Answer 6

sourdough. you want a dense bread which toasts well.
