Es ist keine Kleinigkeit, Mehl, Wasser und Salz miteinander zu vermischen.
Mit jedem Laib halte ich nicht nur viele Kohlenhydrate, sondern ein Gesamtwerk aus Berechnung, Konsequenz, Mut, Überraschung, Konzentration, Spontanität, Geduld, Erfahrung, Liebe, Sinnlichkeit, Lust
in meinen Händen.
Zufriedenheit und Dankbarkeit stellen sich ein.
In keinem Lebensmittel steckt mehr Symbolik und Kulturgeschichte.
Brotbacken ist entspannend, schöpferisch, lehrreich - und wahrscheinlich die gesündeste Sucht, die es gibt!

























The bakers hand become their bread
The sourdough library in St. Vith, Belgium, made a surprising discovery about the microbial interaction between bakers and sourdough:
The assumption was that the microbes on the bakers’ hands influenced the flavor of the bread. Bakers from 16 countries were asked to make starters from a common flour and recipe, and nurture them. On July 4, 2018, the bakers and their mothers converged at the Puratos facility in St. Vith to make bread. Afterward, researchers swabbed the bakers’ washed hands and cultured the microbes. The conclusion reversed the expectation: The microbes on the hands of the bakers mirrored the microbes within their starters. The bakers hand become their bread. “The bakers’ hands reflect the life they have lived,” observed Dr. Dunn, “a life with their fingers and thumbs in dough.” In addition to yeast and bacteria, sourdough harbors many secrets. One is whether very old starters retain microbes from the person who made them. “Does the starter you got from your grandmother still have some of her body microbes?” asked Dr. Dunn. “Is your grandmother alive in the starter she gave to you? I think that we will find that in some cases the answer is yes.”
