What is Pas Yisroel?

There is a custom based in Talmud Yerushalmi for Jews to be stringent during the Aseres Yimei Teshuva to eat bread that exclusively Pas Yisroel. Even those who generally do not make a point to eat Pas Yisroel are encouraged to accept this practice during the period between Rosh Ha-Shanah and Yom Kippur.
