German because sauerkraut might have celery seed in it?

I may not see the German but the we can see the hippie, dippy oat, flax, whole wheat, cracked wheat, poppy seed, buckwheat and bran - That has 1968 San Francisco all over it :-)  This has to be a very healthy and tasty bread that has some chew and meat to it-jsut the way we like it.

Never heard of anyone making banana yeast water before.   That would be perfect for banana bread !

Nice baking Evon as usual.

lol.. you really know your bread! yes, it was my first time making an organic banana YW. peeled, thick slices.. bottle, water, cover and shake. bubbled up the next day with a pop and fizzz... 

the celery seed is definitely a highlight in the taste.. not overpowering just nice

thanks dabrownman for your lovely words

Hi Evon,   Your bread looks so appetizing.  I somehow missed the first post but I'm sure you've done it justice.  -Varda
