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.

German Pancakes (‘Pfannkuchen’)
Last Updated on 6 years ago by Tim Pancakes are a food that is commonly considered by many Americans to be basic breakfast fare whereas in many European countries pancakes aren’t considered a breakfast item at all. German pancakes are commonly served either with a savory filling or in their […]
Lentil stew with Spätzle (‘Linsen mit Spätzle’)
Last Updated on 7 years ago by Tim The most popular spaetzle dish outside of Germany might be cheese spaetzle but there’s a much better way to enjoy them. Spaetzle served together with a rich lentil stew accompanied by a satisfying Vienna sausage. What was once a poor man’s meal […]
Onion Cake (‘Zwiebelkuchen’)
We love savory cakes in Germany. Among my favorite cakes are quiche, flammkuchen, and cabbage cake. And this onion cake. Onions are naturally sweet and delicious. There are countless different preparation methods for the pie crust. Most people prefer yeast dough. But for this recipe, I decided to introduce you […]
Apple Strudel (‘Apfelstrudel’)
Last Updated on 6 years ago by Tim Apple strudel is without a doubt the most famous German dessert outside of Germany. I am well aware that it is the pride of Vienna and credit for it should rather go to Austria rather than to Germany. But even the Austrians […]
