Bremen coffee bread
The Bremer Kaffeebrot is a pastry speciality with tradition from the Hanseatic city of Bremen. A white bread stick is baked from a yeast dough, cut into slices, sprinkled with butter, sugar and cinnamon and then toasted again in the oven.
Traditionally, these slices are dipped in a coffee or tea and then eaten. They are most popular at Christmas (like the Bremer Klaben), but can now be bought all year round in various confectioneries in Bremen. Or you can simply bake the Bremen coffee bread yourself according to our recipe.
