Fruchtbrot: That's how the Christmas classic succeeds
Fruchtbrot: Traditional Christmas cookies
Fruit bread, which - depending on the region - is also called "Berewecke", "pear bread", "Hutzelbrot", "Kletzenbrot" or "tents", is made from baked dried fruit (mostly pears). The sweet, dark bread was therefore back then, as it is today at Christmas time, especially popular when the supply of fresh fruit was very scarce.
Depending on your taste, plums, cranberries, raisins, apricots, dates or figs can be added to the bread alongside classic pears.
We reinterpret the Kletzenbrot
The original, Bavarian Kletzenbrot, certainly one of the oldest Christmas pastries in Germany, is prepared according to a traditional recipe with pears, figs, raisins and dates. The Christmas cake owes its name to Kletze, the dried pear around which the whole recipe revolves.
In our variant, however, it does not happen exceptionally. We try a slightly different version of the fruit bread and use figs, apricots and prunes, cocktail cherries from the glass. Thus, although no Christmas Kletzenbrot Allgäu Art, but for a really extraordinary Christmas cookies. Let us taste our fruit bread.
