About this course

You've seen the French sauntering around with slender baguettes under their arms or sporting jaunty berets as they pedal bicycles laden with crusty bread.
Those cinematic scenes are nice, but when you really get down to business - it's obvious that the world's best bread comes from Germany. Here, bread literally sustains culture.
Germans have more bakeries and eat more varieties of bread than most other countries in the world (although we might not go toe-to-toe with France on the bakery count).
According to the bread register of the German Institute for Bread (of course there is such a thing), there are now more than 3,200 officially recognized types of bread in the country. And German bread culture was officially added by UNESCO to its Intangible Cultural Heritage list in 2015.
In this course you will learn about:
  • German Bread Culture
  • History of Bread
  • Common types of German Bread
