Bread names
Generic name
The bread names with geographical indications are "generic names", i. This means that they may be manufactured and offered anywhere with the respective designation. (e.g. commission bread)
Denomination of Origin
In the case of the information “genuine” or “original”, the generic name becomes a “designation of origin”, i. This means that these breads may only be produced in the area mentioned. (e.g. the Kassler bread)
Manufacturing designation
Example: If the baker lifts the bread dough directly out of the bowl of the dough kneading machine and bakes it after a short weighing, but without any further shaping process, the result is called lifted bread . The prerequisite for this is usually a very soft mixed rye bread dough including sourdough and a very long boiler cooking time (dough resting directly in the bowl of the dough mixer). The baker works with moistened (moistened) hands so that the dough does not stick to the fingers. This is why this type of bread is also known as "wetted bread". All of this results in the very rustic shape typical of raised bread with uneven pores in the crumb and the hearty taste.
Fantasy names
Invented bread names that deviate from the bread names according to the meal products and the bread names with geographical indication are not sufficient on their own for labeling when selling, e.g. B. Malfabrot , mountaineering bread , after-work bread , world champion bread or Olympic bread . The description of the bread type according to the ground products is also required (sales description). Example: "Gassenhauer (mixed rye bread)".
The gastric bread that is often available at fairs is not bread, but a type of gingerbread .
