My friends over at Elli Quark recently sent me a box of their yummy quark flavors to try. I was really excited to try them, because I haven’t had quark since I was last in Germany. It was a very special treat for me! If you aren’t familiar with quark, I don’t blame you…it isn’t as common here in the U.S. and I didn’t know what it was before I visited Germany for the first time.
Quark is a spoonable fresh cheese that is similar to Greek yogurt, except it is less tangy, has half the calories per serving, and has more protein. Elli Quark flavors have less sugar than Greek yogurt, which I really like.
After trying out the quark flavors, it was hard for me to choose a favorite – I enjoyed them all. If I had to choose, the sea salt caramel flavor was really good with my favorite chocolate granola. It was almost like dessert for breakfast! My favorite way to enjoy quark is on a piece of good bread for breakfast.

So you might be wondering what kind of stuff can you make with quark? The only recipe I knew from Germany was cheesecake. Yes, quark makes a great cream cheese substitute for cheesecake! I asked my dear friend who is from Germany about other recipes, and she showed me a recipe from her Grandmother for quark rosinenbr̦tchen Рtranslation, raisin bread made with plain quark. Thanks for the great recipe!
It was so much fun trying all of the flavors, but I saved the plain one to make this delicious sweet breakfast bread. Quark rosinenbrötchen is very easy to make. It is so easy that you can even make it fresh in the morning before breakfast! You can eat it plain, or spread some quark or jam on top.

It turned out I made the right choice using the homemade quark prepared with my recipe here. You also can use quark bought in a store or sour cream as a substitute.
Sift the flour into a mixing bowl of the stand mixer. Add sugar, salt, yeast, and diastatic malt powder to it and stir with a spoon. Place the egg yolks in the center of the bowl, cover with flour, spread the lukewarm milk and sunflower oil over the ingredients, and start kneading on low. Slowly add the quark or sour cream teaspoon by teaspoon to the bowl while kneading. Knead for 6 minutes until the dough is soft and loosens from the sides of the bowl. Place the dough into a bowl covered with flour on the bottom. Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise for about 40 minutes or until the dough has doubled in size.
Knead the dough again using the hands. Roll the dough into a small circle using the rolling pin. Fold the edges to the center while turning the dough. Turn the dough around with the seam down and form a ball. Smooth the ball with strokes of your hands from the top over the sides to the bottom. The dough should always have contact with the surface. Place the ball with the seam on top into a round breadbasket (

) floured with 1 teaspoon of flour mixed with 1 teaspoon of potato starch. Cover the basket and let the dough rise for 20 minutes.
Take the bread out of the basket and make cuts on the top using a sharp knife or a razor blade. Sprinkle flour on the top and place the bread on a baking sheet covered with baking paper.
Add 3 ice cubes left and right of the pot on the oven’s bottom to create more steam and place the bread on the third rack. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Open the door completely after 20 minutes to release steam and close again. I leave the pot with water in the oven during baking time, but you also can take it out after opening the door.
