Stollen This traditional German Christmas bread has been a highlight of the holidays at Zingerman’s Bakehouse for more than two decades. And no wonder. It has a symphony of great ingredients: sweet butter, Bacardi® white rum, cinnamon sugar, toasted almonds, Red Flame raisins, fresh eggs, organic flour, candied orange and lemon zest, dried cherries, citron, real vanilla, and fresh orange juice. The whole precious loaf is brushed with rum butter, not once not twice, but three times, and dusted with powered sugar. The colors and flavors are very festive. Just the thing to slice and serve with a pot of tea, best enjoyed by a crackling fire with the ones you love. This is one of our signature holiday gifts.
Walnut Beigli A Zingerman’s Exclusive! Beigli is a Christmas staple in every house in Hungary. Buttery yeasted dough is lovingly hand-rolled around a sweet walnut filling. Hiding inside the crackled mahogany crust you’ll find its trademark swirl. ‘Tis the season to share a slice and the tradition.
Chocolate Babka There’s a lot going on in our babka. We start with a rich buttery brioche dough, paint it with dark chocolate, sprinkle it with chocolate crumble and orange syrup soaked raisins, twist it up, and carefully place that work of art in the pan. The loaf is baked to a golden brown with a fragrant cinnamon sugar top. We’ll go a long way for full flavor! A slice of our dark chocolate raisin babka is great for morning coffee, evening dessert, afternoon tea time or any time. Warming it up a little would be nice too. Enjoy!

Pfeffernüsse Cookies A fun red and green reindeer sweater gift box filled with spiced cookies. Pfeffernüsse in German translates to pepper nut in English. It’s fun to say either way. We bake these cookies with the same great ingredients that make all our cookies merry: sweet cream butter, organic muscovado brown sugar, and fresh eggs. But they also get a dash of Christmas spices like nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, anise and even a pinch of black pepper. Each hand-made cookie is then dusted with powdered sugar, reminiscent of a winter snow fall. So light the fire and throw on your Christmas sweater cause baby it’s cold outside.

Celebration Wreath 12/14-12/16 This bread is a flavor powerhouse of organic whole grain wheat that's stone-milled in-house, our magical naturally leavened bread starter & lots of toasted sesame seeds. The shape and cut of the bread are very decorative. It will be a beautiful addition to retail shelves, dinner tables, catering buffets and Instagram feeds. Up the flavor and festive factor of any meal, dinner party, or holiday get together with the celebration wreath. It pairs well with soups, roasted meats, and vegetables, as well as cheese boards. Since the wreath design has eight “leaves” you can easily tear and share; it really invites you to break bread together.
Pavlova 12/21-1/1 A Zingerman's exclusive!? Just when you thought the holiday season couldn't get anymore special, our wildly popular pavlova returns! Pavlova is the iconic dessert of Australia and New Zealand, named after the Russian Ballerina Anna Pavlova, who performed there in the 1920s. It is a light, luscious, fruity, sweet, cloud-like dessert. It begins with piping a round of vanilla meringue and baking it until the exterior is crispy, but the interior remains soft and smooth. It’s then covered with a thick wavy layer of unsweetened whipped cream (plenty of sugar in the meringue for the entire dessert) and generously decorated with fresh fruit. Enjoy them while you can! By the way, it's wheat-free! For this special bake we're using red raspberries, pomegranate arils & a fresh mint leaf.
