…which is German for nut horn. It’s a yeast dough based, large crescent shaped dessert bread my German Grandmother taught all of her kids and grandchildren how to make. The dough is rolled out and chopped walnuts, cinnamon and brown sugar are spread on top. The dough is rolled up into a large crescent shape before baking. A simple icing is applied before eating. Christmas is the only time this dessert is made in my family.
