Wacky Word Wednesday

On a regular basis, I come across cooking words that I have no idea how to pronounce (half the time, I'm not even sure what they mean...until I look them up).

Sooooo, I decided I would share what I learn. Wednesdays will now be reserved for wacky cooking-related words I come across (along with some clarifying pronunciation). Enjoy!

Today's word?

boule (pronounced like "cool"): A round loaf of white bread.

We enjoyed a sourdough boule with mussels and white wine.
