Is french bread supposed to taste a little tangy?
Answers:
When i get french bread it usually tastes tangy, but i think it tastes good =)
I hadnt noticed usually sourdough does.
Sourdough is really tangy. Regular french bread usually isn't.
Good French bread is somewhere between bland Italian bread and a good sourdough bread. The amount of tartness depends on the bakery and the leavening agent being used.
Good French bread should be a bit tangy. If it's not, the place where you're getting it isn't letting it rise long enough or at the right temperature.
