Pa de pagès (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈpa ðə pəˈʒɛs]; "farmer's bread" in Catalan) is a type of traditional bread from Catalan cuisine. It is made in an artisanal manner and baked in a refractory oven, giving it a thick crust, which helps keep the inside fresh and soft for a long period of time. Its fat content is lower than that of regular bread. "Pa de pagès" has a round shape and is usually sold in 250-gram, half-kilo, or two-kilo formats. It can be bought whole or sliced and it is commonly used to prepare pa amb tomàquet.
