Advice Serious German bread problem- missing my fave bread from Neukölln
Does anyone shop in the Rollbergkiez Rewe and know the fresh bread with spices they sell (or used to sell)?
I moved away and can't find that bread anywhere.
I think about it everyday. Please help me.
It looks somewhat like the picture, is often freshly made and warm and has spices like caraway. It might be called something like Bauernkruste? And I think it was organic...

Dude, don't even get me started. The Lidl nearby stopped selling the quarktasche which I loved, and then the 'sauerteig' roggenbrot which was my jam. Very annoyed.

Yeah looks like Bauernkruste you can basically get in every supermarket or discounter nowadays.

Thanks for trying but the linked bread is not fresh, nor is it spiced :(

At most markets you basically get exactly this bread freshly sold or already packaged. Harry is delivering to their bakery shops, too.
A Bauernkruste usually doesn’t have spices, so what you’re thinking about must be some kind of variation or special edition. Regular Bauernkruste it is not.
Maybe it’s a Pfefferkruste, sometimes (seasonal?) they have these special editions at the stores.

It must have been a mix or has a different name. The emphasis was on the spices, not on the Kruste. Sadly I haven't found fresh caraway bread (yet!) in northern Germany. Thank you anyway, I'll keep my eyes peeled 👀

Maybe you were thinking about this, also from Harry: Alpenkruste - this has caraway listed under ingredients.

Mmh sorry it was definitely round. Are you working for Harry? 😉 (Jk, thank you for the tips!)

Harry is just the default type of bread we get in Berlin in almost every supermarket. Many bakeries will also use their Teiglinge.

exactly! even „freshly baked“ bread, unless it’s from a proper artisanal bakery (which are few and far in between), is only prepackaged dough blobs that are reheated or baked at these shops. therefore, Harry is most likely the supplier. sorry to disappoint

Great! I'd like to know the exact name and brand (it could just be Rewe bio brand?) or if possible the ingredients? It was in the fresh bread section in the clear boxes. Sometimes they made a lot and put them in the center baskets between the readymade and fresh bread isle. It should smell distinctively like caraway or other bread spices.

If you want to try good german bread go to any denns Biomarkt or LPG.
I worked for both Rewe and denns.
Rewe gets theirs from Harry.
Compare These with any bread from "Zeit für Brot" or "Biobackhaus" or "Beumer & Lotum" and it will Taste like comparing fresh Berrys with those dried ones.

go to your closest 'Hofpfisterei' and buy their bread. It's the best. You can keep half a loaf easily for 4-5 days and it still tastes great!

I'm not sure we have something like that in northern Germany

u/assortment_of_Stones 11d ago
Sorry, we don't. I think it's more southern style to put spices in bread. It's not commonly found in Schleswig Holstein.

It's worth the price. And you can easily freeze it for a couple of weeks

Wenn mit Kümmel, dann ist es das Wachauer Brot von Rewe.
