As you may have guessed, my wife is German. And as a German, she has a powerful taste for hearty bread — tough, dark and heavy — with as many seeds crammed into it as humanly possible. She calls it her, “Seedy Bread,” and during the summer of 2011, she discovered a whole new brand: Dave’s Killer Bread. She loves all of Dave’s Killer Breads, including Good Seed, Powerseed and Good Seed Spelt, but her absolute favorite is their seed-covered mini-baguette* (depicted). While at a Fred Meyer supermarket in Northeast Portland, I pointed to one of these baguettes and asked what she thought it was called, to which she replied…
THE WIFE: “It is a peace stick.”

Well, I’m not sure. The variety was not really big. The store carried only a hand full of the sticks but a couple of different loafs of bread. That is good too.
The cinnamon sticks really took me by surprise. I love cinnamon rolls and have a hard time to stay away from it. The cinnamon sticks are a welcome healthy alternative. :)

I love seedy bread as well. One time I bought spelt, which is looks like a big brown brick and weighs about the same. It was incredibly dense and the slightly tangy flavor was not bad. Another win for German bread.
