Sat 11 Mar 2023 17:17:32 EST http://www.christmas-baking.com/vogelfutterbrot.html A recreation of the loaf my uncle Ernst called Vogelfutterbrot (bird-seed bread) because of the whole grains and seeds in the bread, which really do look like they fell from the bird feeder. It is delicious for anything from breakfast bread and butter to sandwiches only a hipster could love.

Thu, 01 Dec 2022 00:00:00 EST http://www.christmas-baking.com/pretzelrolls_a.html Pretzel rolls might be the hot thing in America now, but they originated around Stuttgart, Germany, where they are eaten for breakfast and at the light dinner called "Vesper". These were a favorite of my mother with butter and honey, and I would often bring a couple home from trips for her. I only regret not trying to bake these before she passed, because it is a straightforward recipe. The dough can also be formed into a traditional pretzel shape, or sticks.
