Grittibänz is a typical yeast pastry, made from a somewhat sweeter plait dough This sweet breadman is baked during the Advent season on St. Nicholas Day. It is especially well known in Switzerland and Germany. But in Germany, it is rather called “Weckmann” or “Klausenmann”. Where the name comes from, I do not know exactly But apparently, it’s called that because the breadman is standing with spread legs. Gritte/grätte means to spread/grate in some Swiss dialects. But it also means “old frail man”. Of course, Gritti women can also be baked.         This slightly sweet dough roll tastes good in any shape   Fantasy can be given…
