Das Brot ist sehr gut

Nicole Wasmer and her assistant, Mark, set up her little white tent and opened with the rest of the vendors at the Oconto Falls Flea Market at 10 a.m. June 13.

By 11 a.m., she was sold out.

Under the business name Das Brot — German for “the bread” — Wasmer has been creating breads, stuffed pretzels and other baked goods using the recipes she learned from her grandmother and mother in Bad Vilbel, a small town just north of Frankfurt am Main in Germany.

“I came to America in 2005 and became a U.S. citizen in 2015,” she said after selling the last of the 200 stuffed pretzels, 25 loaves of bread and 30 bagels she had baked for this week in Oconto Falls.

The selection included pizza-stuffed, bacon cheddar, ham cheddar, jalapeno cheddar, and cinnamon pretzels, along with seven-grain, breakfast, bacon cheddar, jalapeno and salsa bread. She takes a similar approach to bagel varieties.

Wasmer sells out of her home in Stiles and at outdoor markets around the area. She plans to be at Equity Park in Coleman on June 19 and back in Oconto Falls on June 20, also noting that she’s already signed up for the Taste of Fall event in Lena in September.
