Danyang market bakery: black garlic salt bread vs garlic baguette

Danyang means garlic! I stopped by Gugyeong Market and came to buy some black garlic salt bread that looked delicious~

It's the only salt bread specialty shop in Danyang, and they say they bake fresh every morning using Danyang's native six-clove garlic, sun-dried sea salt from Taean and Sinan, and premium French gourmet butter! I parked in the free parking lot near Gugyeong Market. Black Garlic Salt Bread looked like it'd travel well packed up, and also seemed good to buy in bulk as gifts for family or friends.

Where is Black Garlic Salt Bread? By the Jandomun gate at Danyang's Gugyeong Market

Black Garlic Salt Bread is located near Jandomun gate at Danyang's Gugyeong Market. I parked at the free lot near the market and walked over.

The second chapter of a Danyang bakery~

It's really popular, so there's a wait. The smell was so good that waiting while smelling it, the line went by quickly.

Delivery is also available. You get ₩1,000 off when you buy Danbbang Bakery or black garlic nurungji (scorched rice) fried chicken. If you join the Naver photo event, you can even get milky Sangha Farm ice cream! It'd taste even better eaten together, I think.

It's made with black garlic slow-cooked for 15 hours from Danyang's native six-clove garlic, and black garlic salt aged for 20 days with Taean sun-dried sea salt! Just looking at it, it seems really tasty~

Menu and set options at Black Garlic Salt Bread

Black Garlic Salt Bread's salt breads come as single pieces or sets. Original salt bread, streusel salt bread, garlic salt bread, black garlic salt bread — so many flavors, I was very curious! Ordering as a set is also reasonably priced.

Inside the shop: salt bread straight out of the oven

Inside Black Garlic Salt Bread, the hot oven was running really fast! Freshly baked salt breads kept coming out one after another.

This is the gorgeous-looking black garlic salt bread.

Set 1 has 4 original, Set 2 has 2 original, 1 garlic, 1 black garlic. Their principle is that everything is kneaded by hand and sold the same day it's made~

Pickup complete~ The packaging was so cute too!

Tasting original, garlic and black garlic salt bread back at the guesthouse

I ate the packed salt bread as soon as I got back to the stay. Black Garlic Salt Bread sells not just the basic salt bread but also garlic and black garlic salt bread, so I thought comparing all of them would be fun.

The plump, cute original salt bread

The black garlic salt bread, deeply soaked in garlic sauce. They say they directly age Danyang's specialty garlic to make black garlic extract for it! The black garlic aroma wasn't as strong as I expected, so it wasn't overwhelming at all. Instead, the salty, savory flavor of a regular salt bread combined with the sweetness of black garlic made for quite a unique combination. If you like salt bread or normally enjoy garlic bread, you'll probably like this a lot.

How does black garlic salt bread differ from a garlic baguette?

I've eaten plenty of garlic baguettes, and this felt like a similar garlic sauce drizzled over a salt bread! But the meeting of a soft-textured salt bread — not hard like a baguette — with black garlic extract gets a big yes from me!! The black garlic salt bread felt a bit sweeter than the plain garlic one!

You can see the proper butter cave inside! The owner is truly serious about salt bread.

It's a salt bread with a soft texture rather than crispy, so it was easy to cut cleanly with scissors! It'd probably taste even better with an air fryer~ I think its biggest appeal is being a regional snack you can only really experience in Danyang.
