Pain d'Épices (Bouchon Bakery French Gingerbread Loaf) image

French gingerbread is known as pain d'épices or spice bread. This version is moister, darker and denser than American gingerbread, which is lighter and more airy. This simple but delicious dairy free recipe hails from Bouchon Bakery.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 ¼ cups plus 2 teaspoons (340 grams) all-purpose flour
1 ½ teaspoons (8 grams) baking soda
1 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon (7 grams) ground ginger
1 ½ teaspoons (4 grams) ground cinnamon
⅜ teaspoon (1 gram) ground cloves
½ plus ⅛ teaspoon (2 grams) kosher salt
1 cup plus 1 ½ teaspoons (220 grams) dark brown sugar, (lightly packed)
1 cup plus 2 ¼ teaspoons (340 grams) unsulfured blackstrap molasses
1 cup (215 grams) canola or vegetable oil ((or other neutral flavored oil))
¼ cup plus 2 ½ tablespoons (100 grams) beaten eggs ((about 2 large eggs))
1 ¼ cup plus 2 ½ tablespoons (336 grams) boiling water
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon (5 grams) grated lemon zest ((from about 2 lemons))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray two 8 ½-by-4 ½-by-2 ¾-inch loaf pans with nonstick spray. Line the bottom of each pan with parchment paper, then spray the parchment.
  • Place the flour in a medium bowl and whisk in the baking soda, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and salt. Place the brown sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix on low speed to break up any lumps. Add the molasses and mix for about 1 minute or until smooth. With the mixer running, add the oil in a slow, steady stream and continue to mix for about 1 ½ minutes, until completely combined.
  • Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. With the mixer on low speed, add the eggs and mix for 1 minute or until the mixture is smooth. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add the dry mixture in 2 additions, mixing on low speed for 15 to 30 seconds after each. With the mixer running, add the water 60 grams (¼ cup) at a time, incorporating each addition before adding the next. Scrape down the bowl again. Fold in the lemon zest. The batter will be quite runny.
  • Divide the batter between the two pans. Bake for 1 hour or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Set the pans on a cooling rack and cool for 10 minutes. Turn the cakes out onto the rack, remove the pans and cool completely.
  • The cakes can be wrapped in plastic wrap and frozen for up to 1 week. Defrost in the refrigerator and rewarm if desired. This gingerbread is best made a day ahead to allow the flavors to develop and deepen.

PAIN D'ÉPICES - SPICED FRENCH GINGERBREAD LOAF WITH HONEY



Pain D'Épices - Spiced French Gingerbread Loaf With Honey image

A French classic and one that I will me making myself from now on, having just paid a small fortune for a tiny, if delicious loaf from my local boulangerie! This is a cross between sticky ginger parkin and a gingerbread cake or a tea loaf. It is not as moist as parkin or gingerbread, but it is extremely good when spread with butter or even better, when toasted.......divine! It is also surprisingly good when served with cheese. Another idea that I discovered in a local café, is to serve it warm with a dollop of crème fraiche and a little bunch of fresh berries on top, a perfect dessert for an elegant dinner party! This improves with keeping and makes a wonderful gift for a foodie friend or hostess - wrap in cellophane and attach a ribbon with serving suggestions. If you cannot source Quatre Épices, I have a recipe on zaar to make it at home! Recipe #283280
