Describe the bread your family ate. The smell, the shape, who baked it.

Hans Müller

Bayern · b. 1933

The bread was dark and heavy, a whole loaf for the week. My father fetched it from the baker — the smell hung in the house all of Sunday.

Edith Brown

Cornwall · b. 1938

The bread was a great round loaf, baked twice a week in the wood-fired oven. The smell filled the whole cottage — it's what I remember most from my childhood.
