BBD #04 Bread & Spices: Spiced Peasant Loaf

breadbakingday #04 - spiced bread
 
Bakinghistory chose Bread & Spices for the 4 th round of Bread Baking Day. In the South of Germany some breads are seasoned with Bavarian style bread spice, containing coriander, caraway, fennel and aniseed or Franconian style breadspice, mixture of caraway and coriander. The breadspice of South Tyrol a German speaking part of Italy is „Brotklee“ =Blue-white clover, Blue-white trigonella, Blue fenugreek, Sweet trefoil, Curd herb, Blue melilot. You need this for „Vinschgauer Fladen“, flat bread with sourdough. I have already baked a Franconian Loaf and „Vinschgauer Fladen„, which are also common in our neighbouring country Austria. My gentlemen said, they where too spicy. The spices didn’t agree with the topping.
For the

I used only a half teaspoon of a mixture of pepper, coriander seeds and fennel. Just a hint of spices in the bread, which goes well with all hearty toppings. The three gentlemen liked it.

    Pfeffer im Brot
    Fein, sieht sehr lecker aus. Daß man Pfeffer ins Brot geben kann, kenne ich aus einer Uraltsendung der Hobbythek. Irgendwann in den 80ern haben die dort wohl schon mal Brot mit Sauerteig gebacken (inklusive andienlicher Angabe von Bezugsquellen für Roggenmehl…)

    Es ja so viel nachzubacken…*ächz*

    Bin versorgt
    Fand’s nur lustig, daß man damals noch Bezugsquellen für Roggenmehl angeben mußte. Gutes Roggenmehl gibt es zumindest hier in Westfalen in fast jedem Supermarkt.

    Die Adler-Mühle ist aber wirklich besonders gut.
