    Traditional German spice blend for rustic breads and rolls.

    German Bread Spice

    Have you ever baked bread at home and then been disappointed, because the end result just wasn’t the same as fresh bread from the bakers, and almost had a boring taste? It is possible that you are missing the right spices in your recipe!

    Finished bread usually contains around one and a half to two percent salt (proportional to the amount of flour).

    A home-made bread spice mixture is the secret ingredient to a strong, full aroma! Bread spices can be bought ready-made in Germany. Many ready-made mixtures often contain flavour enhancers, salt and fillers though. But it is actually incredibly easy to make your own mixture, with a personal note!
