Vohdin: Sweet Treats and Farmers Bread
It's easy to pass right by this little hole in the wall in the Oberdorf, but I hope you won't. Vohdin Bäckerei's tiny service window opens onto Oberdorfstrasse, where the fourth generation of Vohdins is still baking breads like their dunkles Bauernbrot, sweet treats like Berliner and Ziger Krapfen, and wonderful savory lunch bites like Spinach or Cheese Wähe.
In the interest of research, I've tried a few of Vohdin's offerings. The little leek tart was wonderful, a cheesy and rich filling with leek-y unctuousness in a buttery short crust. The dark Farmer's Bread (dunkles Bauernbrot) was crispy on the outside and tender inside, with a nice aroma of rye. The schenkli or doughnut was a rich fried dough with barely a hint of sweetness on the crust. For something sweeter, try a Berliner (cream-filled doughnut).

It's so funny how the pretzels are upside down in Switzerland (compared to how they are in the US)!
ReplyDeleteI never noticed that! I wonder if it's from some medieval belief? Or maybe just because that's how they do it.
ReplyDeleteMm-hmm! I know which hole-in-the-wall you are talking about. I love looking into it, but never gathered enough courage to buy something from the lady in the window.
ReplyDeleteWhat a coincidence ! My grandparents house is just on the corner of the Oberdorfstrasse and the Rössligasse ... where I have spent a bit of my youth ! Love all these swiss words you use ! My memory of my childhood is coming back !
ReplyDeleteI live in Belgium and have a swiss mother !
Hi Juanita,
ReplyDeleteDefinitely give it a try. One little doughnut :)
Thanks, zsazsazsu! Using Swiss and German is my rationalization for spending time blogging instead of studying :-) Definitely tell me when I get it wrong!
ReplyDeleteMy last name is vohdin I might be related to them.
