I think I finally figured out how to shape Franzbrötchen. Still need some practice on getting the shape consistent though... I also made some spicy Twisty Strips from Nicola Lamb's Sift. #baking #backliebe

A Franzbrötchen (a cross between a croissant and a cinnamon roll, native to Hamburg) on a plate. They're really delicious, you should fly to Hamburg and try one. Next to it is a mug of overly-milky tea decorated with the message "The lemon is in play", shaped like a lemon, a reference to the brilliant radio sit-com Cabin Pressure.

A tray of pastries made of twisted viennoiserie dough. Not visible is the fact that they're made with a compound butter containing chili oil and soy sauce, making a delicious savoury snack, unlike most sweet viennoiserie.

Unbaked Franzbrötchen proofing in a proofing chamber, underneath a metal rack that will hold another tray of pastries.

The same tray of Franzbrötchen after baking. Some are well shaped, some have spread into each other.. One or two look a bit overdone. Next time I should probably make them each a bit bigger and spread them over two trays

Everything here looks scrumptious. I'm glad the Franzbrötchen were eventually released from proofing jail!
