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.

Venison stew (‘Hirschgulasch’)
We love to eat saucy goulash in Germany. Especially during the cold days, it is a very comforting meal. Winter is the prime time to eat game meat. This goulash can be prepared with venison, wild pig, lamb, or even just regular pork or beef. It’s special because I use […]
Semolina Dumpling Soup (‘Grießklöschensuppe’)
Last Updated on 7 years ago by Tim Whenever you’re eating German food there are basically two choices you have regarding the appetizer. You can either have some kind of salad or soup. For me, this is a no-brainer. I always go with the soup. Soups that are served as […]
Asparagus Quiche (‘Spargel-Quiche’)
Last Updated on 6 years ago by Tim There are few dishes more satisfying than a quiche. I love the textural contrast between the crispy crust and silky custard. Without the shortcrust pastry, quiche would just be a boring custard. For me, quiche is one of those dishes which are […]
Beet Jelly with Potato Dumplings (‘Rote Beete Grütze mit Kartoffelknödeln’)
You might know that there’s a famous dessert in Northern Germany called ‘Rote Grütze’. It’s a jelly made from fresh berries and often very sweet because Northern people like a lot of sugar in their desserts. This beet jelly is the same thing but it’s made from red beets and […]
