Franzbrötchen

Common card · No. 339342

A Franzbrötchen (German: [ˈfʁantsˌbʁøːtçɛn] ) is a small, sweet Viennoiserie baked with butter and cinnamon, similar to a cinnamon roll. Sometimes other ingredients are used as well, such as chocolate or raisins. It is a type of viennoiserie commonly found in northern Germany, especially Hamburg, and it is usually served for breakfast, but is also enjoyed along with coffee and cake. As its name indicates, the Franzbrötchen, which literally means French-roll, was probably inspired by French viennoiserie. Originally, it could be found only in the region of Hamburg, but now Franzbrötchen are also sold in Bremen, Berlin, and other German cities.
