Baking: cakes, cookies and Christmas smells

📖 Lesson ──▶ 🎯 Quiz — pick the translation ──▶ ✅ Lesson done

German baking is culture. Kaffee und Kuchen at 3pm is sacred. Classics: Apfelstrudel with vanilla sauce, Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (cherries + Kirschwasser!), Bienenstich, Christstollen in December. Plätzchen are Christmas cookies: hundreds of shapes, families bake during Advent. Recipes are written in grams, not cups — precision to the gram.

●Base: flour + butter + sugar + eggs = shortcrust (Mürbeteig)
●Yeast dough loves warmth: let it rise in an off oven with the light on
●Baking paper instead of greasing — nothing burns, no fat

🍰 Stollen keeps for weeks and only improves: butter preserves, rum-raisins soak through. Baked in November — eaten at Christmas.
