Le Gruyère AOP Braided Bread

15' 45'

As I see it, Zopf, or as we say in Bernese German “Züpfe”, is part of a good Sunday brunch. Yet it should be a homemade, super crispy one, which doesn’t taste at all like a mass-produced pastry bought at the grocery store. In keeping with Valentine’s Day, you can twist your braid into the shape of a heart and thus create a successful surprise. Of course, this takes a little practice beforehand, but with this small added effort the braid tastes ten times better. As I chose Le Gruyère Bio for my recipe, I relied on organic production for all the other ingredients. When baking braids, it’s important to use cheese butter instead of normal butter. You can really taste the difference and will never want to use normal butter again. So I wish you a lot of fun baking and a happy Valentine’s Day for everyone.
