The Dungeon Loaf of Bread Story

The story as related to me by an old baker in Europe:

While indulging in one of my passions – traveling, this time in Europe, I came across this delicious dark sour dough bread being served with other food. Upon my inquiry where I can buy some to take with me, I was told this bread is baked at home from scratch and that recipe is some 400 years old, bread not being available in your ordinary bakery shop.

They should not have said that key word, “not available”, for together with “can’t be done” these two sentences are a trigger for my zest to find out how. By asking questions and investigating where the origin of this good and healthy tasting bread comes from I finally met an old baker who was already in his 90s still with a spark in his eye.

He told me that this recipe was passed down for generations and it’s origin goes way back to the times when people were thrown into dungeons for many years or until they simply died there (recalling the fate of Count of Monte Cristo) and the only thing they were given for years to eat was a loaf of this bread and a jug of water. Majority of them survived for decades on this very plain and simple diet.

Upon explaining that I love to travel the world and that I really enjoyed the taste of his Dungeon bread he simply replied that everybody does, without any further elaboration. After mentioning that baking and cooking is, right beside my travels, another hobby of mine, we indulged in lengthy conversation about preparations of variety of foods and dough. I realized later on that this old fox of a baker was actually testing me to find out how much I know about baking and cooking, if anything.

Still with the spark in his eyes, he said: “Well I guess I will not be here forever and you may not come back here in time, so I’ll tell you what, I am going to give you this recipe with God’s blessing if you promise me to bake this bread as often as you can and teach other’s what’s good for their bodies.” I did just that and I have been baking this bread at home ever since, for some 25 years now.

Perhaps you are also interested to know how to make this bread?

Be warned beforehand, that this is not something instant to add water to and then nuke-blast-bake-it in your microwave oven. It takes time to prepare with natural, pesticide-and-herbicide-free ingredients, adding TLC (tender loving care), complimented by water that is chlorine free, plus time and effort.

However, you will be well rewarded by very tasty loaf of healthy bread. And the best part is, you do not need to be in the dungeon to enjoy it.
