more German bread

In my profile, I request a few things, among them local cuisine and beverages, as well as favorite recipes. This postcard comes with both of these things! The sender includes a recipe for farmer’s bread (Bauernbrot) which includes some ingredients that might be difficult to get in the US: fresh yeast (I’ll have to find the appropriate substitution of active dry) and beet syrup (I’m thinking either barley malt syrup or pomegranate molasses). I’ll let you know how it works out!
