Since it's December, the season for Gifting, Lukas has put on his Baker's Hat. He usually bakes Zopf for our neighbours and friends. We have received some walnuts from a friend and Lukas is baking some Nuss Gipfels for him.

Nuss Gipfel -- one of the most iconic Swiss treats -- Who doesn't love them: these classic and delicious nut croissants are just right for mid-morning snacks, afternoon coffee, after a hike snack or just like that.

Kneading the flour to make a puff pastry dough,

Shelling the walnuts, roasting, sweetening, adding the secret ingredients, making a nutty paste,

Rolling out the dough, filling with the nutty paste,

Glazing the rolled Gipfel, Baking till golden Brown

and Devour... 

Sounds simple, but hey -- I'm happy to let Lukas be the Baker @ home. After all, i didn't inherit any baking Genes and don't really like the "Precise" Baking recipes, 'coz I'd rather follow my heart more than a recipe
