Can't buy proper pumpernickle where I live. Good heavy rye is available from that same artisan bakery. His white Italian style is terrific. Doesn't do French bread, but baguettes are easy enough to make at home. Have never tried making croissants, too hard. Can't get proper croissants anywhere near here. The supermarket one's simply don't use butter
Right enough - if it doesn’t have butter, it ain’t a flaky pastry.

Absolutely! This year I finally learned how to make flaky pastry. Takes a lot of butter. Not margarine and not fucking oil. I have always wanted to be able to make proper flaky pastry for my pasties. I make killer pasties. They even taste OK using supermarket puff pastry.
