Zopf

Cultural Context

Zopf is a traditional Swiss bread, typically enjoyed on Sundays and special occasions. Its name, meaning 'braid', reflects its distinctive shape. Often served with butter and jam, Zopf is a symbol of Swiss hospitality and is cherished for its soft, slightly sweet texture. Today, it has found a place in bakeries worldwide, celebrated for its artisanal quality and comforting flavor.
