True! I also find it fascinating that the first recipe in the linked article (Wroclaw Trencher Bread) includes beer as an ingredient, which has had a popular revival recently as a bread hack to add maltiness/flavor. I've seen YouTubers complain that it isn't "authentic" somehow, but it looks like it really is more traditional than it seems!
