Twisted Bread is the name of a very simple wheat bread from Switzerland. Swiss Wurzelbrot is a loaf that has been twisted two or three times around itself, giving it a bumpy shape like a tree root.Because Wurzelbrot has a long rise in the refrigerator, many of the starches are converted to sugars which caramelize when baked, creating deep, nuanced flavors.
