- ApfelstrudelA simple dough stretched by hand so thin you could read through it, spread with buttered breadcrumbs, sliced apples, raisins and cinnamon, rolled up and baked until flaky. Austrian by origin, loved all over Germany.
- BerlinerSoft, rich yeast doughnuts fried until golden with a pale ring around their middle, filled with raspberry or plum jam and rolled in sugar. Eaten across Germany at New Year and Carnival.
