About the Recipe
Growing up in a Swiss household, I would often wake up on the weekends to the sound of softly playing classical music and the smell of delicious freshly baked Zopf. Zopf (also known as Butterzopf) stands for braid and is a traditional Swiss bread usually made on weekends or for holiday brunch like Easter. It has a beautiful shiny golden crust with a soft buttery inside. Traditionally served with jam and honey or with cheese and sliced deli meats. Perfect for all cravings and to be shared amongst family and friends. Zopf can be made as a sweet bread (if you add sugar) or can be more savory (if you omit it) as this particular recipe is. Either way, there is nothing like the taste of a freshly baked piece fresh out of the oven. Relatively easy to make, the only "complicated" bit is figuring out how to do the braid. To this day, I struggle to get it right. I don't mind if the braid isn't perfect. I know it will look pretty and taste heavenly regardless. A taste of Switzerland. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
