What is even a boule!!? /s
A french bakery is called a boulangerie, because for centuries bread was prepared in a bowl, or boule. That gave the loaves a particular round shape, like an inverted bowl
Amazingly, it wasn't until the late 17th century that someone thought, "You know what, I could make this into different shapes, like maybe a stick shape!"
I know. Was being sarcastic.
Round bread
Yeah, the only person who doesn't know is the subject of the post.
