Authentic German Bread (Bauernbrot)

SUBMITTED BY: Petra 

Here is a great recipe for authentic German Sourdough Bread. This bread tastes almost exactly like the bread we buy back home in Bavaria, Germany. There, to this day, they bake their bread in a very old stone oven in the middle of a small village, once every 2 weeks. They bake a whole bunch at once, and then you can buy it and freeze extras until the next baking day. It's the best German bread I know!

Slightly sweet golden squash is topped with a savory herbed cheese-breadcrumb topping. It's been my signature dish every Thanksgiving for the last 12 years. It takes a bit of work, but it is so, so worth it. Your guests will ask you for the recipe, so be prepared.

This is a simple dish using fresh bratwurst, onions, and balsamic vinegar. It has a nice tangy flavor, and is excellent served in crusty bread and topped with spicy mustard. 

German Filled Hoernchen

Submitted by: Elfi 
Rich tart pastry of little horns. The filling can also be marmalade, a mixture of raisins or currants with cinnamon and sugar, or chopped hazelnuts with sugar and enough sour or sweet cream to bind the mixture.
