Hidden delicacy: Berlin splitter rolls are too delicious to be forgotten. Split rolls are a sweet mix of fluffy brioche and flaky croissants.
Once ubiquitous, they are now like a hidden treasure in the streets of Berlin. Only a few bakeries still offer slivered rolls in the capital. In the GDR version, cold cubes of butter are worked under the dough before it is formed into rolls; in the West German version, the dough is toured. No matter which variant, the mix of soft brioche rolls and flakiness is convincing and tastes great on its own.
