An ode to German bread


I had a "Power Laiberl" today for brekkie. That's a funny name because it combines Germans' love of incorporating English words into their everyday speaking. I believe "Laiberl" is Southern German/Austrian dialect for body, but someone please correct me if I am wrong on this one. So taken together, eating this bread is supposed to give you power for your day.

There is an extensive array of breads available in German bakeries. Most of them are very hearty. I find that it does not taste as refined as American breads that tend to be sweeter and have less nutrients. Nothing beats a nice warm Broetchen.
