Episode 6: German breads
Welcome to Rural Food Traditions, a podcast series of Rural Remix. We’re starting where many meals across diverse food traditions begin: with bread. Food is a uniter; and across culinary traditions, bread is a common thread.
On this episode we visit Ellis, Kansas to talk with Lois Keller to learn about German breads.

Lois Keller is an avid baker and a spokesperson for the Kansas Wheat Commission.
In this episode, she speaks about how her son’s diagnosis of Celiac disease has been a part of her baking history and all about many unique German bread recipes.
Lois’ husband’s family is part of the Volga German population that immigrated to Kansas in the late 1800s. Lois learned to make traditional German recipes and now shares those with others.
