Don't Just Take My Word For It!

It has been years since I have enjoyed German bread with my Mom and Omi. I am so happy I decided to start with the potato bread. It is like no other potato bread I have ever eaten. Dense yet airy, crusty with a crunch but not too crunchy. So delicious that my wife and son couldn't believe that there was potato in it. A definite keeper. Dankeschoen.

This is the one I've been looking for!!! I don't have sourdough starter, so I did the variation that skips that. This recipe is exactly what I've been missing in my life. so glad I found your site and now I'm curious to explore other recipes you've shared!

I just wanted to thank you for your amazing Rye Bread Recipe! I am just a home cook (male) and have made many types of bread over the years, but this has to be the nicest I have ever made. Its also my first Sourdough Loaf. It wasn't as hard as I thought. So after prepping yesterday, I popped it in the oven this morning. Very tasty and a great texture! Highly recommended.
