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.

Ask a german who doesn‘t live in Germany anymore about what he misses the most and it‘s gonna be german bread

[nallanchakravarthy]

While in Germany for a business trip... I was stunned by the bread types each had a story to tell... It was beyond the capability of taste buds... Can't wait to go back to try more varieties....

I’m the fourth generation of Master Bakers(now retired 90 year old), My great grandfather came to England from Germany in 1854.I still make bread, beautiful white bread.I use Canadian flour, Wrights English flour, Bakers yeast, salt, sugar, butter, and temperate water.I make an over night dough and let it prove for 10 hrs.then knock-back, weigh and hand up, mould prove and Bake at 210c for 38 mins. I do miss the coal fired side-flu oven!!!scuffling out the ovens brick bottom….

As a Bangladeshi living in Germany for 6 years, I have fallen in love with German breads. Its my favorite now!

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.

I lived in Otterberg for a year and in Ramstein for three years. Now, though I can get very good brats and metts here in the U.S. in my region that was heavily settled by German immigrants, I have never found the brotchen rolls to eat them on again. Don't really understand why even at the big Oktoberfest in Cincy they put the brats on hot dog buns. Missed brotchen so much I learned how to make them myself!

saw a video about a french baker and he let the dough run in the machine until it achieved a certain elasticity and how well he could see through a stretched piece. crazy what these masters are capable of...

I've visited Germany many times, and when there, I eat as much bread as I can. When I am in the US, I think about German bread and how much I want some! There are many videos on YouTube about making bread, and now I am going to make some. It's the best meal ever, bread with anything. I got so hungry watching this video! I can't wait to return to Germany again.

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.

Bread gets a whole new definition and meaning in Germany. It just goes to show that how important is bread to Germans and what lengths they shall go to perfect it.

[clacicle]

All of this reminds me so much of when I lived in Germany years ago. The bread and cheese were absolutely delicious. And the beer!

[lucidfox.]

I am German and also trained as a cook here. Bread is the essence of my passion. I eat it almost every day, it's the first accompaniment to so many things, morning, evening, on a Sunday morning or evening. I think it's great that so many people also recognize the art of German bread baking. Every country in the world certainly has great bread, but so do we Germans!
