Goodness gracious. How could anything look this ridiculous but taste so very good. This is the first recipe I prepared using the mixer my mother gave me for Christmas.
I made the bread from scratch. The first time I tried I forgot about my yeast. Returning surprised nearly two hours later, the yeast looked ready. But after adding the flour it didn't form into a nice dough.
Retry.
The second time was a success! I let the yeast sit in the milk for about 15 minutes.
For the filling, I included cream and marscapone cheeses, eggs, sugar and vanilla extract.
Before adding the filling to the dough I added some butter and brown sugar, then folded this together as best I could. I was so surprised that I woke Nancy out of her slumber and begged her to try it.
She loved it so much that she got out of bed for another bite.
I wish I could bring myself to make bread. I guess I'm intimidated by it. This sounds like something I should be willing to try. Maybe I will.
ReplyDeleteI understand the intimidation factor -- totally. Perhaps start with recipes that call for active yeast and no kneading. That helped ease me into the process.
