Polish Gingerbread-Piernik is traditionally baked around Christmastime. The original name comes from old Polish word “Pierny” which means peppery. The cake is moist and spicy, flavored with honey and an earthy mixture of spices. Piernik has a long history in Polish culture, dating back to the Middle Ages, when it was considered a luxury food reserved for the wealthy.

This bread has been a French favorite for centuries. You’ll find it at Christmas markets all over France, sometimes shaped into little hearts. Dijon is famous for its mustard, but it’s just as well known for its spice bread. One more nice thing about this loaf is that it tastes even better the next day, as the spices have time to settle in. It keeps well for up to one week and can be frozen for up to two months, so it’s great for baking ahead or giving as a gift.
