The Art of Czech Baking

Czech baking traditions have been shaped by centuries of Central European culinary heritage. The region's fertile lands provided abundant wheat, honey, and dairy products that became the foundation of Bohemian pastry making.

What sets Czech baking apart is the emphasis on quality ingredients and time-honored techniques. From the soft, pillowy dough of kolace to the intricate layering of medovnik, each recipe reflects the patience and skill of generations of home bakers.
