Billy's Bread

I love my bread and have become addicted to what turns out to be a Fan area legendary loaf.

The loaf is the size of a large bloomer, pointy-ended and crusty. Inside it is firm and chewey and not too white, not at all sweetened and something between ciabatta and a French baguette. The ingredients printed on the paper bag list Rye Flour, but not yeast.

Apparently Billy, or his partner, bakes the bread. He learned his craft from a Vermont based Frenchman in 1999, but there's no bakery. I think the bread comes from a Wonka style facility somewhere.
