Žemlovka

Pyre is one in Old Bavaria, Austria, the Czech Republic (as Žemlovka ) and Slovakia (as Žemľovka ) spread pudding. In the southwest of Germany, there is the related food Ofenschlupfer.

There are different variations of the preparation. A very common type is the following: stale rolls are cut and soaked in mixed with eggs milk. The mass is then placed in a greased casserole dish and layer by layer filled with grated apples, cinnamon, sugar, almonds and raisins previously soaked in rum.

The dish is baked in tube ( oven) over medium heat until golden yellow and topped with a snow cover of stiff whipped egg whites and granulated sugar again.

As Ofenschlupfer the dish is served mostly directly after baking with vanilla sauce.
