While people in Poznań enjoy their famous St Martin’s croissants on St Martin’s Day, the rest of Europe has its own delicious traditions. Let me introduce you to St Martin’s Brezeln – sweet pretzels popular in Germany, often baked alongside little bread figures for the occasion.
Apparently, early varieties of cherries are already in season – the perfect excuse to make cherry brioche buns ;). Soft, buttery and rich with eggs, this dough is surprisingly easy to work with. One of its biggest advantages is that it rises overnight in the fridge, so in the morning
The fluffiest, softest blueberry buns ever! This time, instead of the classic version, they’re topped with a buttery crumble – though you can simply drizzle them with icing if you prefer. The dough is based on your favourite poppy seed roll recipe, which makes it extra rich thanks
Soft cinnamon buns with plums, made with juicy damsons and fresh orange zest for a subtle festive twist. Absolutely delicious! Baked spaced apart, they stay wonderfully soft and juicy, generously glazed and fresh for longer. Highly recommended!
Soft and fluffy honey rolls with a buttery honey glaze. Baked close together in one tin, they turn out wonderfully tender and pull-apart. These aren’t overly sweet buns, but rather perfect breakfast rolls – slightly sticky on the outside from the honey. Absolutely delicious
Adorable apple-shaped yeast buns – filled with apples and styled to look like little apples themselves! With cinnamon “stems” and baked in a muffin tin to keep their shape, they are as delightful to look at as they are to eat. Made with stewed apples (or grated apples)
These soft yeast buns are made using your favourite dough for classic Viennese buchteln. While they may look different from traditional filled buns, the taste is just as wonderful. Filled with homemade vanilla custard, fresh strawberries, and topped with crumble
The best apple crumble buns! Soft, fluffy dough, moist filling, and not overly sweet. You can use ready – made stewed apples from a jar, but fresh apples cooked down (like for apple pie) work just as well. The crumble with walnuts or pecans adds wonderful depth of flavour.
An exceptionally delicious rolled poppy seed cake – truly the best recipe! Moist, soft, and staying fresh for days, it’s far better than anything you’ll find in a bakery. It has never failed me – this is my signature bake. This recipe makes 3 generous cake rolls (about 35 cm each).
Summer simply wouldn’t be complete without blueberry buns. Alongside the classic version, this year I’m sharing a truly delicious twist – soft yeast buns filled with custard (crème pâtissière) and blueberries. It’s a combination everyone seems to love.
Cherry and chocolate buns are simply irresistible. You already know how well cherries and chocolate work together – there was no way these could be missing here. I had to wait a little for good cherries (I rely on deliveries to local Polish shops!),
Raspberry buns – soft yeast buns generously filled with fresh raspberries and topped with a buttery crumble. A truly irresistible treat and a sweet rival to classic blueberry buns ;). Made with a rich, fluffy dough enriched with egg yolks and packed with as much as 1 kg
Soft breakfast pumpkin rolls with a beautiful golden colour, thanks to pumpkin purée. These simple, fluffy rolls are topped with pumpkin seeds and are utterly irresistible!
Homemade doughnuts — soft, pillowy and delicious. This version takes them a step further, as each one is sliced and generously filled with freshly whipped cream, piped in for that classic bakery-style finish. Who enjoys this variation of doughnuts? I highly
Blueberry crumble buns with icing are a version of jagodzianki, but shaped like the classic yeast buns you probably know well. They are fluffy, soft, buttery and simply delicious – yet another reason to bake blueberry buns! During the season it’s best to use fresh
Soft garlic and herb monkey bread in classic ‘tear ’n’ share’ style – little balls of airy yeast dough made for pulling apart and sharing. The inspiration came from the cinnamon monkey bread recipe, one of your favourites. This time, the dough balls
Delicious doughnuts made from light and fluffy yeast dough, filled with a cream inspired by the much-loved Kinder Bueno bar. The filling, made with just two ingredients – sweet hazelnut cream and mascarpone – is quick and easy to prepare. Once filled
Soft, swirled sweet buns with an almond filling – rich in marzipan flavour. The dough is the classic yeast dough used for buns, similar to those you may know from Cinnabon-style cinnamon rolls. The almond filling can be enhanced with dried fruit, such
