Denmark - Brunsviger
Hands down, one of my favourite things I've made in the last few months. A must try! I couldn't get enough. Why have I never made it before?! Who knows. Just know I'd make it again in a heartbeat.
Japan - Shokupan
I'm totally obsessed with this bread! Shokupan (otherwise known as Japanese Milk Bread) is the loaf of my dreams. Ultra thin, soft crust with a springy moist crumb. Just perfect. Let me know if you give this one a go
Italy - Maritozzo
These delightfully soft buns are scented with lemon & filled with a sweetened fresh raspberry cream. I've topped mine off with some chopped pistachios as they match so well with raspberries.
Ireland - Soda Bread
For those of you who have never encountered Soda Bread, it is a hearty dense 'quick bread' made without yeast. Instead, it uses Bicarbonate of Soda as a raising agent. It has quite a dense texture but is great if you want something fresh and quick.
Iceland -Kleinur
Icelandic doughnuts, eaten in practically every bakery. Super easy and quick to make when you need that doughnut fix!
France - Croissants
Buttery, flaky & crisp all at the same time. Croissants may be the best pastry out there.
