I found a little loaf of Bauerbrot in the grocery store - “Farmers bread” I decided to try it and I’m hooked! They get it from a bakery about 20 miles from here. The loaf was very small and kind of $$$ but the density makes up for that. One little slice is plenty for breakfast, and in a pinch you could use a slice to patch the roof! A sourdough rye, more or less, not as dark as Pumpernickel. I know there are lots of regional/traditional breads out there and I’m sure I’ve ever heard of most of them. What’s your favorite? [edit] Sam likes it:

There is something here that shows up every christmas that I’ve been wanting to try (old mining community with people settling from all over to work here) I bought a cookbook this year but haven’t made it yet. More of a bread dessert. And the inside of this church is supposed to be spectacular.  Politics: (effing autocorrect- POVITICA)

Steve, that looks very similar to some breads commonly sold in health food stores: whole-grain, dense, brick-like, thinly-sliced. They are surprisingly moist as well. The slices do look like shingles. They’re good, but I usually like a bread with a more open texture (though also whole grain.)

Clearly you haven't been hanging around with enough Germans and Lithuanians! Sourdough rye breads are what I grew up on. The ones that we could get were usually finely textured but dense. Medium dark crust. Amber Rye's "Jums" (translates to "For You") is one that I can get locally; it's imported from Lithuania:  Another imported bread I buy. Coarse and dense sourdough rye with sunflower seeds. "Tikra" translates to "The Real Thing".  There are quite a few Lithuanians in Cleveland, ya know. There are probably ethnic grocery stores that carry a lot of Eastern European products. http://global.truelithuania.com/cleveland-ohio-36/ https://www.cleveland.com/mycl..._ingrida_bublys.html I also looked up Lithuanian restaurants and found this: https://www.facebook.com/LithuanianClubCLE/ Let me know if you need a guide to the menu items....

Jodi, that’s going to make a LOT of bread! You could probably cut the recipe in half…

Whoa. AM is right; that's a big batch. I'm a bread junkie. I could snarf down large quantities of any of these: https://getpocket.com/explore/...source=pocket-newtab
