Cecilienhof Vollkornbrot - The Bread to Honor the Potsdam Conference
In September I offered this challenge [1] to my fellow TFLers: to recreate an ancient grain bread I had enjoyed during my recent stay in Potsdam, in Cecilienhof Palace, where Churchill, Truman and Stalin met for the Potsdam Conference.
Several of you rose to the occasion, and came up with your own versions of this interesting bread.
Inspired by all this activity I sat down with my Breadstorm program [2] to create my own formula. Except for the emmer, I had all the ingredients from the list in my pantry.
The bread turned out to be one of the best loaves I ever made, we absolutely LOVED it! Whether it was the complexity of the ingredients, or just an optimal process to develop and marry the different flavors I can't say.
Here you find my post [3] with my formula and the links to all TFL friends' who took the challenge.
Thanks, Janet, DBM, Brian, Jürgen and Ian for your enthusiasm!
