This is my Vienna bread recipe that is the standard request at potlucks, dinners and my kids favorite (they’d eat this over store bought any day). I do use my bread machine to do the dirty work–but I love the smell of the bread baking from my oven..so I prefer to bake it there. I especially like to make toast with lots of butter the next day (if there is any left). The taste is really good and goes well with any meal.
This is a traditional sweet Christmas bread made both in Austria and Poland. This is the Austrian version. I have posted the Polish version seperately as well 😉
This recipe is from week 17 of my food blog, Travel by Stove. I am attempting to cook one meal from every nation on Earth, and Austria is my 17th stop. This recipe makes a very dark, slightly bitter pumpernickel bread that is best paired with other strong flavors.
These are made from scratch and taste much better than the ones you buy halfready or from the store. You can decorate them with your favorite seeds. I like my bagels with cream cheese, or fresh salad and salmon. Please tell me your toppings if you comment!
This is perfect to have in the freezer as they defrost quickly and go both, for a snack or a light dinner with salad. You can even use them for breakfast or brunch and they are great for picnics or trips to the country side. They are a classic! And it is yeast free!
