Top 10 Best Foods You'll Find at a Traditional Australian Bakery

Go to any Australian town of at least 30 people, and you'll find a bakery stacked with (hopefully fresh) delicious hot foods and treats.

These foods aren't all originally created in Australia, but they've become essentials and icons of Australian bakeries.

1. Sausage Roll

   

   I prefer these over meat pies, and they are absolutely delicious if made right.

   Simply cannot resist a crispy sausage roll on a day out at the bakery.

2. Donut / Donut of the Month

   Donuts in an Australian bakery are as essential as alcohol in a bar.

3. Meat Pie

   

   Every Aussie has burnt the roof of their mouth indulging in a meat pie.

   You can never go wrong with a meat pie (unless you don't cook it right).

4. Finger Bun

   

   They're amazing and kind of just slide down your throat.

5. Berliner

   Berliners in Australia, such as the raspberry Berliner, are tasty dessert pastries with icing spread on top and filled with some kind of flavored cream.

6. Cheese Dog

   

   A pastry filled with sausage and cheese. What's not to get excited about?

   It's not often you see these, but when you do, they are always worth it.

7. Vanilla Slice

   They're tasty, but it seems that only old people indulge in these.

8. Pasty / Cornish Pasty

   A beautiful blend of minced meat and vegetables wrapped in a flaky pastry.

9. Caramel Slice

   Oh, what a sweet treat with its layers and crumble.

10. Potato Pie

    Perfect for when you're not in the mood for anything meaty, a potato pie will fill your belly up quicker. Just make sure you wait for it to cool down.
