3000 Types Of Bread - What Makes German Bread So Special? | Food Secrets Ep. 7

Germans are crazy about bread. There are more than 3000 different types of bread in Germany. Unlike France or Italy, which are famous for baguette or ciabatta respectively, Germans are known for their dark bread variations made from rye, spelt and wheat flour. In many recipes, sourdough plays an important role - but it's just one factor among many that characterize German bread.

Unfortunately, many traditional bakeries have had to close in recent decades because the discounters offer cheaper but poorer bread. You have to search now to find a really good artisanal master baker. Fortunately, they still exist. It's similar with beer.

[@lastkayleeuw6706]

Nah many "traditional" bakerys also switched to poor quality in the 70th and 80th. The return of craftmanship in german bakerys happend maybe 15 years ago and thats good.

[@AerysBat]

The quality of bread at an average German supermarket would put to shame many "artisinal bakeries" in America lol

[@Pletzmutz]

I don't think it's necessarily true for beer, breweries are pretty industrialised operations by nature. Much of what is today called "craft beer" is still produced by pretty big breweries.

[@cts9718]

Yes, I'm quite sad when I see that in certain German cities, there are only branches of big chains (Steinecke, Wendl, Schäfer, Heberer, Mann...). They are not bad and sometimes they do better things than the small bakeries that are NOT always artisanal because they have to fight for survival by lowering the costs... In Saxony, I'm quite impressed by the bakery Schwarze in Bennewitz and Wurzen. They also sell at the weekly market in Leipzig and they do put the Leipzig bakeries in shadow. (For instance, if we speak about Christstollen, all the famous bakeries of Leipzig like Corso use chemical stuff, Schwarze doesn't.) There will be much more examples in German small towns.

[@DWFood]

Yes, true. There are lots of big chains in the cities. Can sometimes make it hard to locate the famed German artesian bread 🙂

[@kinngrimm]

The worst thing ever to happen to our bread culture is super market breads packed in cellophan. I despise it. I rather have to walk a few kilometers to get a good loaf of bread than having to eat that shit super markets offer us as bread.

'Supermarket foam,' as author James Baldwin called it.

[@esotericexplorersmartinez493]

I know it’s so hard to find good bread now a days u less u live in the city where ther is bakeries

[@trizzybones]

I agree that supermarket bread sucks, but it was borne out of a need to feed a lot of people. I wish there were more local bakeries with high quality breads, I feel like they exist much more in Europe, but bread baking is an art and there aren't as many people who want to devote the time and energy toward it now because of industrial processes. This is sadly the case in so many industries, where artisans are dying out and young people aren't coming in to replace them. Not sure what the solution is to this issue. I suppose the really high quality stuff will continue to go up in price as it becomes more of a rarity. Sad.

[@eth7088]

@@trizzybones I bake my own sourdough at home nearly every day, and would gladly devote my life to bringing the art to the American masses. But sadly, because of the state of our culture, there isn’t widespread demand for quality, artisan bread. It has also been thoroughly demonized because of carbs, gluten (red herring?), etc. And plus government over regulation means that I, and a bank considering a loan, would shoulder a larger risk (competitive disadvantage) starting a small bakery business than a large corporation (the neighborhood grocery’s baking department?) that already has accounting and legal compliance teams.

I lived in Otterberg for a year and in Ramstein for three years.

A question to the baker's out there ☝️ At 3:10 the baker use the rest of the old dough to create a 'cloned' new sourdough. Is there a serious reason for, to mix some old together with the new one, or is it kind of tradition or even superstition?

[@CodeNascher_]

that's how sourdough works. in the sourdough there are colonies of wild yeasts and lactobacillus bacteria. when the sourdough has risen the population is the highest. when you add flour and water to the rest of the old sourdough, you basically "feed" that colony of microorganisms and they increase in population again, reproducing and rising the dough. i have my own sourdough culture since almost 3 years in the same jar in the fridge. it gets "fed" flour and water the day before i use it to bake all kinds of stuff. no need for commercial yeast anymore. it's almost like having a pet
