Welcome to the baking section of my website! Here you can find all of my posts related to bread and other baked goods like strudel, flammkuchen, and cakes. In the top section, you can find posts about the theory and technology of baked goods along with some posts discussing the cultural significance and history of bread in Germany. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and you can find all of my baking recipes. These range from sweet goods like doughnuts and apple strudel to rustic bread like spelt bread and Swabian specialties like pretzels. My blog focuses mainly on savory baked goods. A lot of blogs on German food already feature a ton of traditional cake recipes but the baked goods you might find in a German bakery are only rarely featured on them. I want to fill in that gap because, for me, it is much more fun to bake savory goods.
Check out my new book on how to bake bread the German way:
This book covers the how’s and why’s of bread-making. It is a comprehensive guide on bread ingredients, techniques, and the general bread-making process. It helps you to gain a deeper understanding and enables you to bake bread without a recipe.

Last Updated on 6 years ago by Tim I’ve been running this blog for quite a while now without ever publishing a bread recipe. It’s about time. I’ll promise to not turn this into a baking blog, but this spelt bread is worth a try even for hobby bakers. What […]
The dark truth about food fraud: How criminals make billions of dollars each year
When we think about illegal trade and black markets we often think of firearms and drugs. But the worldwide market for food fraud is even bigger than these two. The European Commission estimates that the worldwide costs of food fraud to the global food industry and consumers exceed 30 billion […]
Pork Pot Roast (‘Schweineschmorbraten’)
Last Updated on 6 years ago by Tim There’s no doubt for me that pork makes for the juiciest and most succulent roasts. It’s divine to bite into a tender and perfectly marbled piece of pork covered in a rich gravy that holds all the glorious meat juices. In today’s […]
Crispy Orange Duck (‘Knusperente mit Orangensauce’)
Last Updated on 6 years ago by Tim Wintertime is duck time. While seldom served in the warmer months of the year, it remains a favorite during the cold season. Richer, gamier, and more tender than chicken, a properly cooked duck always excites. As with all meats that have a […]
