Basler Brot

The Basel bread ( Basel: Basler Laibli ) is a bread made ​​of yeast dough. It is one of the most popular breads in Switzerland and one of the few Swiss breads, which are spread across linguistic borders.

The Basel bread is an oblong- oval loaf. It is characterized by its soft crumb with large irregular pores and a crunchy, lightly floured dark crust without cracks.

Basel Bread is made from a soft dough with a very high water content. The wheat flour may be Ruchmehl or half white flour. The loaves are only slightly formed after letting go and rolled in flour to make the structure of the dough loosely. When baking two loaves with the faces are joined. The baking is done in a very hot oven. Initially steam ensures that the crust is formed not too strong.

Basler bread is available in loaves of 500 grams and 1 kilogram in bakeries often. Well in loaves of 250 grams, sometimes in loaves of 400 grams
