Why Germans Love BREAD So Much | Germany In A Nutshell 2230pm 16.7.22 i actually met an olde fashioned baker many years ago.. it used to be important. but, believe me, they churn out any old crud these days. it's the last bastion of civilisation - so if yer shops are churning out cruddy bread then... yer being warned. that wood fired bread looked good, though... probably the only thing we agree on - bread is king.

In my original country bread and rice are both equally important, but then again it's due to the location being between Europe and Asia!

Never realised about the breads in Germany. Until I visited, I was staying in a self catering apartment, popped down to the local store to look for some bread, I was so used to the ubiquitous white or wholeness, multigrain sliced bread. Walk in and I was like ????????? So many varieties…. I just moved on to the breakfast cereal isle , more familiar territory…

Recently i learned to bake foccacias and ciabattas and its so relaxing making them, like a bread therapy. I was actually inspired by a gen z Brit friend who loves fast motorcycles, games and… bread. What a combination lol but life brings us new discoveries every day.

It’s the part of my German ancestry that appears - my love of bread. Nothing better than an egg and lettuce on a dark rye. And it’s better for your health to eat these breads than the highly processed ones from the supermarket chains.

There are great bakeries in Germany but most have long since disappeared because of "factory" bakeries that produce the exact same bread as the other "factory" bakeries which are boring at best but are cheaper than the locally owned and operated bakeries. Finding a good local owned and operated bakery is difficult as most are long gone. Because of this, I started baking my own bread with fresh yeast or sourdough starter and locall produced flour. The various breads are great, cheaper and I control all the ingredients.

Actually, american products like "Wonder Bread" aren't so outlandish in Germany. When I bake a braided yeast bun (German "Hefezopf"), it shares some characteristics with Wonder Bread: Very white, slightly sweet and very fluffy. The difference is: This is considered here as a type of cake. Something to serve on a sunday with jam and coffee. Nothing to be eaten regularily.

Polish breads aren't too shabby either👌

Due to customer demand, many artisan bakeries began to produce unusual types of bread such as potato bread and various wholemeal varieties in the 1980s. This developed into a kind of competition for more unusual varieties. Many different varieties in small batches are not manageable for small bakeries. The industry therefore helped them with premixed dry doughs. This led to a loss of real variety and ended in a large number of industrial breads to be sold all over the country. +2000 of the 3000 bread types consist if industrial doughs with fancy ingredients. The bakery industry may be proud of this, but it's a disgrace for real workmanship. Starting making my own sourdough bread only 9 months ago it's already better than everything I could buy in my area.

I love bread!

I could have watched a one hour video about this.

When we didn't have time to go to Mensa in my university, everyone packed out their prepared lunches and were unhappy they have to eat bread again. I asked why they eat it if they don't like it, and the answer was : its cheap and easy to prepare. I think they got sick of it after eating it 3 times a day for whole life. My German neighbours in dorm always eaten either pasta, potatoes or bread and its the same at home, so they were wishing a little bit diversity in food. But nobody wished to spend much time to cook something different 🤣

When i lived in Japan, there was a tiny bakery shop near my uni, in the mountains near Tokyo, where there were only 2 persons working. The baker and a clerk. They would open around 4pm and bake a fixed amount per day and when it sold out they closed for the day, which means they could be open for one or three hours. Very small, stress-free business. On the same note, it reminds me of a hairdresser in a rich, quiet neighborhood near the center of Tokyo, where the guy was also a contemporary painter and he would display his large paintings in his tiny shop display and be open whenever he had an appointment. Love their work culture.

Turkey certainly has a wide variety of breads, but not in comparison to Germany. One reason for this is that we grow many different types of grain, not just wheat, but also rye (in the north) and spelt (in the south), and every master baker has to create his own bread to become a master.
