Edges of a rye bread with caraway seeds

The edge (from "edge"; term used especially in northern Germany ) is the cut or the end piece of a loaf of bread . In the bakery industry , edges are called trimmings and cuts .

Other regional names

Different designations for the approach and section are also used in different regions. The fact that there is an expression for this part of the bread at all is due to the fact that the cutting of freshly baked bread was very popular, while the end piece, which only had to be consumed after several days, was already hard and dry and often had to be immersed in liquid before one could consume it.
