Hi Bronze -
may be you have to eat the Zopf at the same or the next day after you bring them at home.... that is the best bread that I ever had! and you try the 6-grain???? mmmmmmh - I don't understand you...

i bought it once, but could taste that something was 'off'. Ive had better.

Not the nicest looking Zopf in the world, but the taste was bang on! This is truly authentic and very much worth a try, especially if you have a freezer full of Strawberry jam from last summer! :-)

Especially good with butter and homemade strawberry jam! :-)

This stand at the Ottawa Farmer's Market is the only place in Ottawa that I know sells Zopf.

The loaf is flawlessly formed and glazed (egg wash). However, I found it to be a little dryer and a little saltier than the one I make. That's pretty easy to forgive, though, since the price for this whole loaf is only $3.50! (They call it a Butter Twist, by the way.)

(That said, if anyone from the bakery is listening here, please consider cutting the salt and baking for a slightly shorter time.)
