"What is Franz..... Franzbro.....that German thing?" 🤔 We get this question multiple times each week. So I thought I'd give a little background on the franzbrötchen. 🥐
Franzbrötchen translates to 'Franz rolls,' short in German for French rolls (Französiche Brötchen). They are a specialty pastry from Germany's harbor city of Hamburg. A few rumors exist about how they were invented. One popular story mentions that when Hamburg was occupied by the French in the 19th century, bakeries started baking French bread and one baker, in search for a new pastry recipe, or maybe just by mistake, baked some French bread in a skillet with butter, cinnamon and sugar. https://dirndlkitchen.com/franzbrotchen-mit-plunderteig-german-cinnamon-rolls/
See you Saturday! Maybe you'll try that German thing 😉😊👍🎉
