"Back Shop" Frozen Wheat-Mixed Bread #532, 1.06 kg

❄️ Ships frozen — California only This bread travels frozen, packed for the journey. We post it anywhere in California, and it is fine if it softens on the way — bread can be refrozen or baked straight from where it is. Outside California, choose collection in store at 2790 Santa Rosa Avenue or local delivery around Santa Rosa and Sonoma County. Baked fresh in our shop every morning. This loaf comes to us from Germany part-baked — taken out of the oven halfway, while the middle is still raw, and frozen straight away. The last twenty minutes of its bake happen here, at six in the morning, so the bread on the shelf was finished today. Wheat and rye together — lighter than a pure rye, with more backbone than a plain white. The middle ground, and the loaf most people end up buying twice. You can buy it either way: Freshly baked — crisp crust, still warm if you come early. Still frozen — take it home and finish it in your own oven whenever you want it. No proving, no bread machine, no skill required: straight from the freezer into a normal oven. German bakery article #532 — 1060 g loaf.

Baked the European way The EU bans potassium bromate and azodicarbonamide — two dough conditioners the United States still permits in flour. European bread is also typically long-fermented rather than rushed, and that slower process breaks down fructans: the FODMAPs behind a good deal of the bloating people blame on gluten. This is not gluten-free bread — it is made with wheat and/or rye flour. But many of our customers tell us it sits easier than supermarket bread, and this is why.
