Currywurst is a German fast food dish typically sold by street vendors and food trucks. It is simply a German sausage doused in a spiced tomato-based sauce that’s rich, sweet, and dusted with curry powder. Traditionally, Currywurst is served with pommes frites or Brötchen (crusty German bread rolls).
Berlin, Hamburg and the Ruhr region all claim to have invented the currywurst. For most people, however, only one thing matters: that it tastes good. However, the only person to have applied for a patent was Herta Heuwer from Berlin, who is said to have invented the currywurst in 1949. She obtained ketchup (and possibly Worcestershire sauce) and curry powder from British soldiers stationed in Germany. She then mixed these ingredients with other spices and poured the sauce (which she had patented ten years later under the name ‘Chillup’) over Bratwürste hot off the grill. Berlin is also home to the German Currywurst Museum, which provides information on the history, legends and interesting facts surrounding this popular snack.
As an integral part of German cuisine, the currywurst has long since achieved cult status – regardless of which city first invented it. It’s impossible to imagine the canteens and food stalls without the Currywurst. And there are all sorts of ways to prepare it. Some use a Bratwurst with casing, some without, whilst others prefer a Bockwurst. Cured or smoked sausages are also popular choices for this snack. What they all have in common is that they are usually served sliced.

These crispy onion bread roll do not require yeast and are very easy to prepare. Thanks to the use of baking powder, you can skip the long proof process and pop it in the oven straight after kneading and forming. The Quark and fried onions make it wonderfully moist and flavourful – the perfect accompaniment to dinner or a party! I used the homemade caramelised onions. But if you are short on time, use 130-150 g storebought fried onions. You can also upgrade the bread with some extra grated Cheddar, and/or bacon bits. Creamy spreads (liver paste, egg salad or cheese spread) are the perfect accompaniment with this onion bread for any snack or lunch. This onion bread tastes best on the day it is made. However, if stored in an airtight container, it can be kept at room temperature for 2 to 3 days. It can also be frozen without any problem.

Franzbrötchen (literally French roll) are Hamburg’s iconic pastry. Basically, it is nothing more than a yeast Danish pastry with cinnamon, and yet the Franzbrötchen is something special for the Hamburgers. They are usually served in the afternoon with coffee or even for breakfast. This sweet treat was initially limited to the greater Hamburg area, but since the early 20th century, Franzbrötchen have become popular in many German cities. Today you can easily get a Franzbrötchen from many bakeries across Germany. They are now available in various versions, including with raisins, crumble topping, chocolate chips, marzipan and poppy seeds.
The Franzbrötchen gets its name because it was first made in Hamburg during the French occupation in the 19th century (1806–1814). It is a blend of the French croissant style (Plunderteig / puff pastry) and German baking traditions.
Today I’m turning this sweet pastry from Hamburg into something savoury with seasonal wild garlic. Wild garlic season has just begun! So I simply couldn’t resist. If you’d like to try the recipe, you’ll need to hurry, because wild garlic season is short and usually starts in late March. Around May, the plant begins to flower and the leaves lose their distinctive aroma.

Leipziger Lerchen (Lerchen means larks in German) are a small shortcrust pastry filled with nuts and strawberry jam. The pastry cross on top symbolize the cross ties used to bind the stuffed animals and red berry jam symbolize either the heart or the blood of the bird. The name originates from a delicacy popular in the Leipzig, Germany until the 1870s. The dish used the lark which was roasted with herbs and eggs and served as a filling in a pastry crust. By the end of the 19th century, however, the larks population had so decreased that the shooting of larks was officially banned. A clever confectioner from Leipzig had the idea of helping preserve the larks by creating a new, sweet version of Leipziger Lerchen filled with nut cream and jam. He and his team consoled the saddened gourmets with this sweet treat, which has survived to this day. In addition to original Leipziger Lerchen, you can also find Lerchen made with different nuts and jams in bakeries.

Moist, soft and wonderfully aromatic – this Rosinenstuten tastes just like the one from the bakery and is perfect for Sunday breakfast! A sweet white chocolate glaze drizzled over the top makes it even more tempting, but entirely optional.
A Rosinenstuten is a sweet, fluffy yeast bread filled with raisins (or currants/sultanas) and is particularly popular in northern Germany and Nordrhein-Westfalen. It is often enjoyed for breakfast or with afternoon tea with butter and jam, honey or simply on its own, but can also be eaten savoury with cheese and sausage. Often, more butter and sugar are used in Stuten than in regular raisin bread, which makes the Stuten particularly soft and slightly sweet.
The name Rosinenstuten comes from the German words Rosinen (raisins) and Stuten, which is derived from the North German word Steiß, which refers to the thick part of the thigh, thus referring to the characteristic shape of the bread.

Traditional German Brötchen, or bread rolls, are renowned for having a crackly and crisp crust with a soft and fluffy interior. Great to enjoy them smothered with homemade jam or cheese for breakfast, with a slice of cold cut or liver pate for lunch, or even serve them as a dinner roll for mopping up sauces.
Baking rolls with overnight proving is easy and stress-free. The dough is kneaded and shaped the evening before. It is then left to rest in the fridge and proves slowly overnight. In the morning, the rolls can be taken straight out of the fridge and baked. If they ain’t puffy enough, simply leave them to prove a little longer outside the fridge. You can take some of the Brötchen out of the oven after 10 minutes of baking, leave them to cool completely and then freeze them. When needed, thaw the frozen rolls on a baking tray for 10 minutes and bake them at 200C400F degrees for about 15 minutes. This way you can easily have your fresh homemade Brötchen anytime you like! If you want to give your bread rolls the professional bakery look, then brush them with a cornstarch glaze. Cook 2-3 grams of cornstarch, roughtly 1 teaspoon, with 100 ml of water and brush the Brötchen before baking and after 10-minutes again.
I have baked 3 batches of these Brötchen with different kinds of flour. The first batch I used 100% plain wheat flour, 2nd batch with 80% plain wheat flour+20% light rye flour, and the 3rd, I used 60% white wheat flour+40% wholewheat flour. Personally I prefer the one baked with rye.

Spelt is a type of wheat and therefore similar in terms of nutrients, but it contains slightly more protein than its ‘big brother’. But spelt also packs a punch in terms of taste: it has a nuttier and stronger flavour than wheat.
Quark is also a good source of protein and is enriched with certain acid bacteria that are good for digestion and intestinal flora. Spelt quark bread is therefore not only for athletes, but also for people who fancy a moist bread with a delicious taste.
This Quarkbrot is leavened with baking powder and allows you to bake a light and airy loaf of bread with healthy nutrients in just 1 hour, which is perfect if you are in a hurry or have decided to bake bread on the spur of the moment.

Crusty yoghurt bread is an extremely popular and ideal for beginners as it is very easy to bake, requires little experience and, with just a little yeast and no sourdough. But the beauty of this recipe is that the bread is baked in a cold oven. This bread combines the creaminess of natural yoghurt with the rustic flavour of wholegrain rye flour (or medium-dark rye flour) and the mild sweetness of honey. The fresh yeast ensures a wonderfully light texture, while the balsamic vinegar adds a delicate, subtle acidity. The result is a bread with a perfectly crispy crust, tender crumb and a unique flavour. It makes a perfect breakfast and ideal for making bruschetta or crostini for lunch or as an accompaniment to soups or salads. If you don’t have German bread spice mix, leave it out or use ¼ teaspoon of each crushed (not ground) caraway, fennel, anise and coriander.

Printen are an integral part of the Christmas season in Germany. As you stroll through the Christmas market, the typical scent of aniseed, cardamom and cinnamon wafts through the air.

Nußprinten are a variation on traditional Aachen Printen (a traditional gingerbread speciality that have been baked in Aachen / Germany since around 1820) in which the gingerbread is topped with hazelnuts and coated with chocolate. It is a delicious combination of aromatic gingerbread, crunchy nuts and delicate chocolate. These well spiced cookies are usually sold in the form of long bars. However, they can only be called ‘Aachener Printen’ if they are actually made in Aachen.

A delicious braided yeast bread with hazelnut and poppy seed fillings. Almonds or walnuts can be used instead of hazelnuts. If desired, you can also add some raisins or apples into the poppy filling. The preparation is quite simple. The three main components are the yeast dough, the poppy seed filling and the nut filling. While the yeast dough is rising, you can prepare fillings, which saves time and is very practical. Or you can prepare the filling one day and the dough the next day.
Mohnstriezel has its roots in European baking traditions, particularly in countries such as Austria, Germany, Hungary and Czechia. Originally intended as a festive treat for Christmas and Easter, over the years it has found its way into everyday life and is now enjoyed all over the world. In addition to the classic poppy seed filling, there are numerous variations of poppy seed strudel. It can also be filled with jam, other nuts, raisins or chocolate. This allows you to adapt the recipe entirely to your preferences and the season.
