German term
wild (in the context of Ausbund)
German to English
Other
Cooking / Culinary
Bread
From a catalogue for bread products.
I know that Ausbund is “bloom”.
I think that “wild” in this context means something like random or irregular. I’m just having trouble thinking of the right word at the moment.

Rustic (bloom or crust)
I'm assuming you're looking for something that sounds positive and appealing and often used in the context of baked goods. Doesn't look factory-made. Alternatively: unique rips in the crust.

: I agree about "uncontrolled", but "capricious" sounds a bit odd to me.

Bloom: The phenomenon of the crust opening or 'blooming' where the slashes have been placed, creating crisp flaps or 'ears' of dough on the top crust where the gas and steam of the bread escapes during baking.

I don't think the idea is "random", because the bloom isn't random - it follows the line of the cuts. It's more that the bread is allowed to do its own thing - as my dictionary reference says in reference to animals, "ungezahmt".

feral
feral = "having escaped from domestication and become wild"
Cafe owners and musicians have considered "feral bloom" to be a poetic collocation, as a Google search will reveal.
(Capricious implies that the dough has a will of its own. Prominent seems to miss the point.)
