Last year I made an Easter Wreath for my German Language class. This year I thought I revisit that recipe and see how I can improve on it. Since then and now I have actually found fresh yeast and thought I would give it a try.

Mini Stollen
It is mid-November and that means Christmas is not too far away. Some Germany Christmas items one will find during December need to be prepared somewhat in advance because their ingredients need to sit to develop the right amount of flavour. One of these items would be the Christmas Stollen, a yeast cake with dried fruits and nuts. Great way to share with friends and family is a mini version.
Sweet Buns (Ghana) by Marlys
Please give a warm welcome to Marlys from This and That. I met Marlys through the Foodie Friends Friday Linky Party. Yeah, it’s a long name but a fun way to share and find new recipes. This is Marlys first quest post and as she will tell you, she’s a bit nervous. Give her some love on her blog and Facebook page please.
Yeast Dough Nectarine Braid
What to do when you have two nectarines and you don’t really want to eat them? As usual, you use them to bake them. According to my husband this is an awesome recipe and extremely delicious.
Home-made Bread Bowls
In the Pumpkin Soup recipe I showed off some home-made bread bowls. These are relatively easy to make, I think, and I will share the recipe that I used with you today.
Seven Grain Bagel
Some weeks back I got a “Good Food Box” which had various vegetables and fruits in it as well as a bag of 7 Grain Cereal. It also included a recipe for how to use that cereal, specifically, how to make Seven Grain Bagels with it. By the way: “The Good Food Box is an alternative food distribution system that provides a variety of top-quality, fresh, nutritious foods at an affordable price.” (via CHEP)
Last Day of August
Geee, I almost forgot my monthly summery. I believe this is the latest ever but I have a good excuse: Labour Day Long Weekend. Yes, that really threw me off and last night I remember that there was a post I should have written. So, here it the summery of last month with all its delicious recipes.
Sourdough Bread with Pumpkin Seeds
I miss bread, real bread, with a crust, and with a bite. This is one of those food differences that most Germany will lament because it’s so encoded in our DNA. Dark bread, black bread, gray bread, buns, don’t forget the buns with like pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, mixed seeds. The texture of fluffy bread that still takes some effort to chew.
Last Day of April
I don’t wear a hat like that…maybe I should
Once again it is time for the “Last day of …” post. This time I am really posting on the last day of the month, yeah! Oh what an exciting month April was, with some nifty holidays, e.g. Easter. This year I was even more traditional in baking than last year, using German cake pans and Austrian recipes. It was quite fun, this month, and I also had a little make over and got a header design. *how nice* So, what did you miss? Check it out after the break!
Easter Wreath
German Easter Wreath
Every Thursday I am teaching German in a German Language School. My class is the Level 2, which means the kids are between 8 and 12. There is also Level 1, Level 3 and a high school class. The Level 1 teacher usually bakes a bunny (yeast dough) for her class to explain what Germans do for Easter. This time, however, she was somewhat sick and not really able to bake something. I pitched in and made the Easter Wreath.
