Weggli (soft bread buns)

Posted on April 26, 2020April 26, 2020by Little Zurich Kitchen

There’s no Swiss childhood without Weggli. These small, soft white bread buns are equally popular among Swiss adults and kids. Thanks to its softness and slightly sweet taste, for many Swiss babies the Weggli is the first bread they encounter once they are allowed to feed themselves.

Osterhäsli (Easter Bread Bunnies)

Posted on April 3, 2017October 26, 2017by Little Zurich Kitchen

Bread animals are a big thing in Switzerland. I grew up with Müsli (small dough mice), covered in sugar sprinkles and with raisin eyes. We didn’t make them ourselves but our mum would buy us one from time to time (or probably a little more often than that) when we walked past our local bakery. […]

Brown Bread (Betty Bossi Hausbrot)

Posted on April 17, 2016October 26, 2017by Little Zurich Kitchen

We Swiss are obsessed with fresh, crusty bread. Back in the days when the bread available in the US and UK was mostly the soft bread used for toast, many a Swiss was anxious to travel to the US or UK where they had to survive without their daily share of crusty bread. Decent bread […]
