Pain aux cranberries et noix de pécan à fermentation lente

The slow fermentation really comes through—the crumb is dense and tangy, not airy like supermarket loaves. I did find one tiny shell piece in my slice, but the cranberries and pecans are so generously scattered that it’s easy to forgive.

The crust has that perfect crackle from the wild yeast, and the pecans add a nice crunch in every slice. I did find one tiny shell fragment, but honestly that's just proof it's the real deal. Toasted with butter, it's become my weekend breakfast ritual.

The slow fermentation really comes through in the texture—the crust cracks beautifully and the inside stays moist for days. I was a little wary of the shell fragment warning but haven't hit any, and the cranberry-to-pecan balance is just right for my toast.
