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.

Butternut Squash Soup (‘Kürbissuppe’)
This butternut squash soup is simple to prepare and tastes amazing during the cold months. It’s silky smooth, rich, and a little sweet. I add a little orange juice to give this soup a wonderful wintertime flavor. While for most pureed soups it is fine to just cook the vegetables […]
Matjes Housewife-style (‘Matjes Hausfrauenart’)
Soused herring is so much more delicate than you might expect from its name at first. In Germany, it’s typically served as matjes housewife-style with sour cream sauce. Matjes are young herrings that have been preserved in a salt brine. They’re originally from the Netherlands where, until today, the best […]

Swabian Egg Noodles (‘Schwäbische Eiernudeln’)
These Swabian egg noodles are made from spelt flour. They have an incredible bite and chew to them but they are a bit more challenging to produce than the ribbon noodles that I have introduced you to in an earlier post. Fresh noodles are best if they are prepared from […]
