Simple Breakfast Croissants
I named them breakfast croissants, because we always have them for breakfast. The scent of the croissants spreads throughout the house as they bake. And fresh on the plate, simply irresistible!

These are the best brioche croissants.
They are really soft and fluffy, filled with a poppyseed-apple filling. But there is no limit. You can also fill them with a nut filling or Nutella.
Pumpkin Chocolate Babka
Autumn is already in full swing. The pumpkins are heaped on the roadside for sale, chestnuts are falling from the trees and the leaves are changing color.

Chocolate Hot Cross Buns
Hot Cross Buns are originally from England and is part of the Easter tradition, Good Friday, actually.
Was originally baked with raisins, dried fruits and spices.
Is also an Easter tradition in many other English speaking countries. In some places you can even get Hot Cross Buns all year round and in many different flavours.
We have refined our Hot Cross Buns with cocoa powder and chocolate chunks. It is best to eat them warm with butter, jam is also great.
