Bread made from wood: in addition to the hottest food supertrends of 2021 like mochi ice cream, adaptogens and sushi bakes, is THIS the next big hype of the year? Or again just the latest stomach upset?
In any case, we’re heating up the oven and daring to venture forth into this previously uncharted culinary abyss with a historic recipe for wooden bread in this issue of #DDBwerkbank: so that namely no one else will have to do it (which we would, incidentally, – spoiler alert – strongly advise against at this point …)!
Searching for a recipe:
What many people don’t know: there are the one or other highlights of haute cuisine hidden in the German Digital Library! And so we begin our search for a recipe on www.deutsche-digitale-bibliothek.de, where we enter the search term “Brotzubereitung aus Holz” (“making bread from wood”). In this way, we get the hit Gründliche Anleitung zur Brodzubereitung aus Holz (An in-depth guide for making bread from wood) by Johann Heinrich Ferdinand von Autenrieth from 1817, made available by the University Library of Kiel.
