“At this point craft baking, at least here in Oregon, is miles ahead of Germany. Same goes for coffee and beer, times sure have changed.”
I think Americans tend to overdo things and make them too fancy. German bakery items often tend to be very simple and straightforward. Americans tend to tweak the recipes and add more and more stuff which makes them worse in my view. The same happened with pizza. In Italy they are pretty light with a little cheese and a little sauce whereas in the US they often load them up with way too much stuff.
- zwieback 6y agoI would agree but then there's always that other American that says "Americans overdo it, try my bread made from only three ingredients." As to pizza: American pizza is a totally different thing, good but not like Italian. However, you can find Italian style pizza like you describe in most US cities now, often made with imported mozzarella and tomatoes. "Clean Label" is actually a massive trend now in food production because people are being told that fewer ingredients are better and if you can't pronounce it it's probably bad for you."
