It is incredibly dense, like a brick. A slice is more like a non-crunchy cracker. I like it because it doesn't seem like it ever goes stale. (Or maybe it does and the texture doesn't change?)
It is good but you would have to be an extreme German nationalist to enjoy it more than a good French baguette.
- kaybe 10y agoYes, something like that, but this shop version is not good. You want it fresh from a baker, and then it will be a little bit less dense and have a much more pleasant texture. It is excellent the day it was made and the next and then stays okayish for about 3 more days, when stored in a paper bag or a wooden box. It keeps a bit longer in plastic but will go moldy instead of dry. But the way it goes dry does not fit the word 'stale' imho. If you put it in a toaster it will still be good after 5 days. The time also depends on the flour - rye keeps longer than wheat, and things like a generous amount of sunflower seeds help. Baguette is good too, but is only good for like half a day. And I feel better if I go for the darker bread most of the time.
- vonmoltke 10y agoOh yeah, I forgot about that one. As you say, I think you'd have to be a German to consider that typical bread. :P
