    German Bread & Rolls

    Germans eat so much bread and it tastes much different from American bread. It's got a harder crust, is not sweet, and usually features more whole grains and seeds. This one is my favorite German bread recipe. Rolls for breakfast are called Brötchen and are are part of an essential morning meal called Frühstück (this seeded roll recipe is my favorite)!

    Hallo! I'm Sophie Sadler, cookbook author of 'The German Home Kitchen', coming this September, and German food blogger at dirndl kitchen since 2015. I am so happy you’re here! 🥨

    I moved from Trier, Germany to the U.S. in 2009 and soon terribly missed the flavors of home. Crusty German bread, flaky pastries, afternoon Kaffee & Kuchen, and, of course, Döner Kebab and pretzels! So, I started sharing my love for German food and traditions with fun, easy-to-follow recipes. Stay a while, bookmark some recipes, and let’s cook together!
