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 powdered 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 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 Cookie Box 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 handmade cookie is then dusted with powdered sugar, reminiscent of a winter snowfall. Rugelach Cookie Box Our colorful Zingerman’s box filled with handmade rugelach makes a great gift! Two varieties in each box. These tasty fillings are folded up in a tender cream cheese and butter pastry. Try the classic duo of apricot preserve and currant walnut fillings or, for a little adventure, try the combo of raspberry preserve and chocolate fillings.

bialys 12/6 This is our version of the traditional bialy that hails from Bialystok, Poland. They're crispy and chewy rolls with a center of slow-roasted onions and poppy seeds. They look a little like bagels, but they're different. Bagels are boiled before baking and of course, have a hole through the middle. Bialys are not boiled but still hand-shaped and stone hearth-baked and have a delicious impression to hold that savory center. You can certainly eat them the same way you would a bagel though. Enjoy!
