Using spent malt in bread offers several nutritional advantages that can enhance the overall quality and health benefits of the final product. Here are the key benefits:

High Protein Content

Spent malt is rich in protein, typically containing around 25% protein. This addition can significantly increase the protein content of the bread, making it a more nutritious option for consumers looking to boost their protein intake.

Increased Dietary Fiber

Spent malt is an excellent source of dietary fiber, with studies indicating that it can contribute up to 40% fiber in the bread. This high fiber content aids in digestion, helps maintain bowel health, and can contribute to a feeling of fullness, which is beneficial for weight management.

Rich in Minerals

Spent malt contains essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron. Incorporating spent malt into bread can enhance its mineral profile, providing important nutrients that support various bodily functions, including bone health and muscle function.

Antioxidant Properties

The secondary plant compounds found in spent malt, such as phenols and flavonoids, have antioxidant properties. These compounds can help combat oxidative stress in the body, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases and inflammation.

Functional Benefits

The use of spent malt can improve the functional properties of bread. It can enhance moisture retention, improve the texture, and contribute to a longer shelf life due to its natural preservative qualities. This can lead to a better overall eating experience for consumers.

Sustainability

Using spent malt in bread production promotes sustainability by reducing food waste. Instead of discarding the spent grains from the brewing process, they are repurposed into a nutritious food product, contributing to a circular economy.

Sourdough Breads

Sourdough Bread: A Health-Conscious Indulgence

Sourdough bread emerges as a nutritional superstar, offering more than just a delightful texture and taste. Let’s dive into the myriad benefits that make sourdough bread a health-conscious indulgence, from the wonders of lactic acid to the gut-friendly probiotics, and beyond.

Sourdough rye bread. maed with 50% rye flour. A stable in Germany, you can order it here. 

Lactic Acid Fermentation: The Magic of Acetic Acid:

Sourdough’s unique tang owes much of its charm to lactic acid fermentation. During this process, beneficial bacteria (lactic acid bacteria) consume sugars and produce lactic acid. This acid not only contributes to the characteristic flavor but also acts as a natural preservative, enhancing the bread’s shelf life without the need for artificial additives.

Sourdough baguettes, plain or with 5 grains, you can order it here. 

Probiotics: Nurturing Your Gut Health:

One of the standout features of sourdough lies in its potential to be a probiotic-rich delight. The lactic acid bacteria formed during fermentation are believed to have probiotic properties, fostering a healthy gut microbiome. A balanced gut microbiome is associated with improved digestion, strengthened immunity, and even potential mental health benefits.

Sourdough baguettes, plain or with 5 grains, you can order it here. 

Vitamins and Minerals Abound:

Sourdough’s fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of nutrients in the grains. This means that your body can absorb essential vitamins and minerals more efficiently. Notably, sourdough may offer increased levels of B vitamins, particularly B1, B2, B6, and B12, as well as minerals like magnesium, iron, and zinc.

Sourdough Kastenbrot (sandwich bread), you can order it here. 

Lower Glycemic Index: A Friend to Blood Sugar Levels:

For those mindful of their blood sugar levels, sourdough presents a favorable option. The lactic acid bacteria and longer fermentation process contribute to a lower glycemic index compared to conventionally processed bread. This results in a slower rise in blood sugar levels, providing sustained energy and potentially aiding in blood sugar management.

Sourdough wheat bread, you can order it here. 

Gluten Digestibility: A Potential Advantage:

While not gluten-free, some individuals find sourdough more digestible than conventional bread. The fermentation process breaks down gluten proteins to some extent, potentially reducing gluten-related discomfort for those with mild sensitivities. However, it’s crucial for individuals with celiac disease or severe gluten intolerance to choose certified gluten-free options.

Phytic Acid Reduction: Unlocking Nutrient Absorption:

Sourdough’s fermentation process also contributes to a reduction in phytic acid, an antinutrient that can hinder the absorption of minerals. By breaking down phytic acid, sourdough enhances the bioavailability of minerals like calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus, supporting overall nutrient absorption.

Conclusion: Elevate Your Bread Experience with Sourdough:

In the world of bread choices, sourdough emerges not just as a flavorful option but as a nutritional ally. From the probiotics nurturing your gut health to the slow fermentation enhancing nutrient absorption, each slice of sourdough is a testament to the symbiosis of taste and health. So, the next time you indulge in the comforting aroma and robust flavor of sourdough, know that you’re not just savoring a delightful bread – you’re nourishing your body in more ways than one.

What’s on the menu on Andy Maluche’s successful German sausage business

Andy and Currywurst Meister’s Prezilla

In 2016, Andy Maluche, a German who lived in the Philippines, decided to start a business. His first idea was to do a food truck since it is a booming concept in his home country. So, he designed and made his own food cart.

Andy’s first pop-up store was located in front of the Makati bar Heckle&Jeckle. Although it worked for a while, he was later prohibited to peddle in the streets. That led him to move to the Legazpi Sunday Market. There, he sold luxury eats like New Zealand mussels. Unfortunately, there was no market for it. Next in his entrepreneurial journey were buns, which also ended badly. Not long after, he transitioned to currywurst, a German street food, but he was asked to leave the flea market because someone was already offering the product.

 
Pfefferbeisser

Andy then decided to put up shop at Rockwell focusing on bread and sausages. He devoted his entire year studying how to make authentic German meat sausages through online research and by watching YouTube videos. Eventually, he opened a small stall in Alabang. Due to the pandemic, however, he was forced to close.

To adapt, Andy created his online shop called Currywurst Meister and, surprisingly, people started to order. In the beginning of the health crisis, Andy was booked out five to six days in advance. The orders got crazy that he couldn’t do everything, from production to the booking of deliveries, by himself anymore. “My wife saw the success and started to help,” says Andy. He even began hiring people around his neighborhood.

Schlachterplatte (butcher’s plate) 

A year ago, Andy was invited to open a restaurant on Balesin Island. “We supply the food, but we don’t run the restaurant,” he clarifies.

Curry Wurst Meister’s sausages and meatloaves are made with fresh meat and spices. They have no fillers, extenders, and preservatives, and are pure meat.

Andy’s initial success was hinged on his fellow Germans who missed their comfort food. His artisanal varieties of bread are what German children grew up having in bakeries. Pastries are keto, made from almond flour. Some have pumpkin, chia, and sesame seeds. The wood-fired oven sourdough bread has nothing but flour, salt, water, and Andy’s special year-old sourdough, with natural leaven. Sourdough bread is easier to digest. It has lower sugar than normal bread. Currywurst Meister also has Hefezopf, the only sweet bread on its menu. Some of the bestselling breads include the five-grain sourdough, sourdough wheat, and pretzel buns. All are baked fresh to order.

Almond bread

Currywurst Meister’s sausages and meatloaves are made with fresh meat and spices. They have no fillers, extenders, and preservatives, and are pure meat. The sausages are perfect for grilling, which brings out the best tastes. Smoked meats include smoked bockwurst, Pfefferbeisser, ham, bacon, tenderloin, Kaese Krainer, and Hungarian. The bestselling sausages are Nuernberger, smoked bockwurst, fine bratwurst, and lamb sausages. —Janica Angeles

 

You can buy all these products at the shop at City Club Alphaland, Makati. If you’re visiting Baselin Island you can check out the restaurant, or order directly through the website www.currywurstmeister.com.

Nothing is possibly meatier and more packed with flavor than a well-made sausage. The cylindrical meat product, which comes in various flavors depending on its provenance and ingredients, is made using animal by-products that would otherwise end up in the bin. Even pork blood is found in some of the most beloved sausages, such as the boudin noir of France and the morcilla of Spain.

On our side of the world, the longganisa is a breakfast favorite, a beloved sausage best served with garlic rice and fried egg and dipped in spiced vinegar. With unique regional characteristics sparking rabid fandom from Filipinos who grew up eating different variations, the best longganisa is a list to make another day.

For now, we gather our favorite purveyors of the tastiest European-style sausages. These delis and restaurants are the go-to places for the meatiest and most flavorful links. 

Currywurst Meister

Artist Andy Maluche may be known in most circles as a visual raconteur, but recently his freshly baked German breads and preservative-free European-style sausages are what have been disrupting the food scene. He used to have a stall in Poblacion, but these days he takes orders through his website and has them delivered to your door. Once in a while, he does a pop-up, like a literal sausage and beer fest, where people can have their fill of his amazing sausage set: Maluche’s brats, schweinebraten, as well as smoked bacon and ham.

A German’s take on German food

BY ED TAMAYO PUBLISHED DEC 07, 2023 5:00 AM

https://philstarlife.com/living/176111-andy-maluche-german-food

Metro Manila food lovers with a craving for German fare like bread and sausages—made as they are in Germany with great care and prepared with carefully selected ingredients in limited batches—are increasingly looking to the online shop Currywurst Meister for a fix.

Named after the iconic German street food consisting of sausage and curry ketchup, Currywurst Meister was founded in 2016 by longtime Makati resident Andy Maluche. At the young age of 22 he set out from home in Munich, in the state of Bavaria, to see the world. He fell in love with the Philippines, and most of all his wife, Nena, a lovely Samareña.

Andy Maluche with his bread selection at Currywurst Meister

Andy is an artist with a passion for sculpting, painting, and shooting photos in his signature, kinetic style. A prolific blogger, he comes with years of solid accomplishments in design and advertising, having worked with well-known brands. Above all else, he has pursued his lifelong fascination and passion for food, especially traditional fare from his native Deutschland.

An assortment of bestsellers: Sourdough buns, sourdough bagels, and other freshly baked sourdough varieties

The growth of Currywurst Meister started with the metro’s German residents, who longed for the different kinds of bread and sausages they were raised on. “I wanted food that I grew up with, the way these are prepared in Germany,” says Andy, who’s properly armed with the knowhow for making German sourdough, pretzels, sausages, and meatloaves the right way. “At first, just mostly for myself and my family. Happily, we are seeing more and more people in Metro Manila discovering and liking our food.” To this day, he and Nena manage all aspects of operations, with special attention to quality.

Distinct from American pretzels, these Bavarian pretzels are savory and a different kind of delicious: Pretzels and pretzel buns are by far the most-loved Currywurst Meister products

The shop’s artisanal types of bread, baked from scratch as they are ordered, are typically what you would find in classy German bakeries. The ingredients of the sourdough bread, done in a wood-fired oven, are flour, salt, and water—nothing else. The special, year-old sourdough is made with natural leavening. Incidentally, sourdough has lower sugar content than “regular” bread and is more easily digested.

 
Make your own Schlachterplatte (butcher’s plate) with grilled sausages, bacon, meatloaf, and tenderloin on a bed of sauerkraut with bread dumplings

The top customer choices among bread products include five-grain sourdough, sourdough wheat, and pretzel buns. The pretzels are always in much demand. Currywurst Meister also bakes a keto-friendly almond bread with almond flour and pumpkin, chia, and sesame seeds. 

As for the sausages and meatloaves, these are likewise freshly prepared, with the most expensive, pure choice cuts of meat flavored with spices—no extenders and fillers. Some of the smoked meats, necessarily, are prepared with preservatives, but used sparingly. Andy advises that grilling the sausages brings out their best taste, instead of other ways of cooking.

The world-famous schnitzel is a must-have in any respectable German food shop. Currywurst Meister has made it even more popular in the metro.

The smoked meats include a range of sausages: bockwurst; Kaese Krainer (cheese); Hungarian (pork); Pfefferbeisser (soft salami with pepper); and ham, bacon, and tenderloin. Right now, the favorite sausages are Nuernberger (finger-size and made of pork), smoked bockwurst, fine bratwurst, and lamb. Almost all sausages are made of pork, except chicken sausage, lamb with beef, and pure beef.

German smoked ham, which is not sweet, is perfect with a sandwich bun. Or it adds a smoky, meaty flavor to any dish, and can also be cooked in sauerkraut.

“All of our food, these are delicious treats,” Andy says with a smile. When the COVID-19 crisis began, online orders shot up, sometimes with a waiting time of five to six days, but people were patient. Then Andy was tapped to supply food for a restaurant that opened on Balesin Island and was told to consider it his own. Meanwhile, back in Metro Manila, customer orders kept coming.

 
A salut to Germany’s French neighbors: A traditional sourdough baguette and chicken paté, a bestseller, with lots of butter, brandy, and spices.

An avid customer, Don Gordon Bell, shares his thoughts that sum up most feedback about Currywurst Meister: “I absolutely love the loaves of bread, meats, deli, and many other products that I have discovered. Will continue to enjoy ordering. And for all those who appreciate great food, I highly recommend this shop. Go ahead and try Andy’s authentic German deli products.”

If the nutty flavor of sourdough bread isn’t enough, try walnut sourdough bread. The walnuts turn the bread purple inside. 

Andy concludes: “At Currywurst Meister, we offer a delicious and distinctive brand of experience with German food each time. And you need not travel to Germany or even leave home, because we bring it to your door.”
