Grittibänz – Swiss Bread Men

Grittibänz, are charming little bread-men that are a popular holiday treat in Switzerland. Roughly translated – “Gritti” refers to a figure with legs apart, and “bänz” is the short form for the name Benedikt. The bread is made from a lightly sweet yeast dough, similar to brioche or challah. They’re widely made in homes and bakeries across the German speaking part of the country and are a beloved tradition throughout the holiday season.  Enjoy with honey or jam during class, and bring some home for all to share!

If you enroll with a child (under 12), please only enroll as one registration.  You will work together to make a batch of Grittibanz!  

Note:  Only enroll for 1 spot during registration of a child/adult pair.
