The bread had big scores straight out of the package and once baked they were even bigger. It means I cannot cut neat slices as the crust will break away. It looks like the proofing or baking process was not ideal. I attached photos of before and after baking.

I followed instructions to bake the bread. But what is going wrong, when that situation on the picture happens?

The bread was burnt around an extremely wide crack. I tried to bake it anyway, but it became very hard to cut and it just crumbled when I did try to cut it and it was wet at the same time. I think it’s probably an unusual occurrence. I threw it away.

Dense and chewy. Good flavor, but the rye isn't as prominent. The only thing is that it's very crumbly. I ate it with cream cheese, radishes, and dill fronds. Delicious snack!

We love this bread. Bauern Brot crispy on the outside full of flavor on the inside. I have recommended it to all my family and friends , even gifted a couple of boxes. They have all now placed their own order. The Brötchen are the bomb as close to Germany as you can get. I’m glad that I discovered brotbox.

I love this bread and hope to never have to eat another one, the day after I finish baking it I cut it in half so I can get it through my home electric slicer, I then divide the slices into small portions and put them in freezer bags and in the freezer, this way I always have fresh bread and no waste! Thank you for bringing this bread to the US!
