Oma's Easy No Knead Artisan Bread Recipe

The breads and buns are the most difficult to replicate outside of Germany. This rye bread recipe uses a wonderful mix of flours to get just the right taste. And, on top of that, it's super easy!

Whenever I visit Germany, one of the things I really look forward to are the German baked goods. There's at least one bakery in every town where everything is fresh made that morning. Buns, breads, cakes, tortes, cookies, etc., etc., etc.....

There is one type of bread, though, that I created many, many years ago when our boys were young and we were on a 'health food' kick.

It was a most interesting experiment ... and the family survived! In fact, what I created was a no-knead sourdough bread that is absolutely amazing.

It does take a bit of work, or actually, a bit of time ... but the results are a perfect loaf of bread, every time. As well, it's as healthy as you want to make it. 

I normally put in almost anything I can find in the way of seeds and whole grains. It's a different loaf all the time, but each time, it works. Check it out here.

Bauernbrot (german Farmer's Bread) • Curious Cuisiniere

This German sourdough, whole grain, no knead bread recipe, aka Sauerteigbrot,   is so delicious and so healthy. Add things like flax seeds, flax meal, oats, sunflower seeds, psyllium, bran, or almost anything you can think of.

Baking healthy bread recipes is the way to go. And, that's what this no knead bread is all about! Healthy deliciousness! You choose what to add and how healthy to make it. 

I've found that if I overdo the dry ingredients, the bread still turns out, just not as moist as usual. Everyone I've given the recipe to over the years quickly figures out the 'right feel'.

German Christmas Bread

This bread is best eaten slightly warm from the oven. Let it cool so that you can cut it, though. We normally eat half the loaf this way. YUMMY!

Once it's cold, it literally becomes a different kind of bread. The kind you can cut into good slices and make sandwiches from. It tastes different than when warm, but different in a good way.

The 'potato water' used to make the sourdough starter comes from boiling potatoes for dinner the night before. Keep the drained water BUT make sure you do not add salt to these potatoes. Salt will kill the yeast!

Sunflower Seed Bread Recipe

I created this recipe many, many years ago, as our children were growing up. We were really into health foods at that time, as well as trying to save money

I even got black-strap molasses from the feed mill -- figured if it was good enough for the cattle, it was good enough for us. Had some memorable memories with that!

On the way home one day with a gallon jar sitting on the passenger-side floor, the car hit a bump. The jar tipped. Lid came off. One gallon of molasses slowly poured out. Into the carpet. Under the carpet. Cleaned it up thoroughly, but it got into the metal seams under the carpet.

Yep. Hummus. Sylvie, my daughter-in-law, shares that hummus is delicious with this. Her easy hummus recipe is so quick to make and it's becoming wildly popular in Germany. Try it. I think you'll like it too!

, is so delicious and so healthy. Add flax seeds, flax meal, oats, sunflower seeds, psyllium, bran, or almost anything you can think of.

Your subsequent loaves will taste more 'sourdough-y' the older your sourdough starter is. But even the first time, it will be delicious.
