Shapes of Loaves
White bread is sold as Baguette or Stangenwei?brot (French stick)
or Kasten (tin) but can also be obtained in an oblong shape, baked
loose on the tray, like a bloomer. Some bakers have also started
offering ciabatta which is based on the Italian bread, the shape
is similar to the bloomer, an elongated oval, but the dough is a
light wheat dough, coloured slightly yellow. Bauernbrot2
is usually round; the others mentioned above are generally sold
in the shape they grow into when baked loose on a tray.
