I revisited this bread that I'd found from one of the many terrific German bread bakery sites. Often they suggest for additions like soy bean powder, apple fiber or some additive. Deconstructing them to bake them with just "the essentials" is often my goal.

Sometime ago I enlisted my friend Susan from Wild Yeast in getting me plugged into how to make a formula using the software program, Excel. I'm still learning Excel, but I keep finding more recipes to take apart!
