What breads work best for this?
Use a dense German-style rye (Roggenbrot) and a soft white or wheat bread. Brötchen (crusty rolls) add textural contrast. Day-old bread is fine—Germans often prefer it for breakfast.

FAQ · Things people ask
About this recipe.
Can I use store-bought jams?
Absolutely. Quality store-bought preserves work perfectly. Look for high fruit content (60%+ fruit). Homemade is traditional but not essential.
How do I soften butter quickly?
Cube it and let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes. Or microwave on low power in 5-second bursts until just softened, not melted.
