One of my New Year’s resolutions for 2016: More homemade bread! Everything else has been forgotten already – doing more sports, loose weight, less chocolate, look for a new job (haha – well not that one)… well the first one at least has been accomplished by making a delicious Challah.
Several weeks ago I had massive problems finding fresh figs for a recipe – now they are everywhere! Yay! I love those little fellas so much! :)
There is still some time left – grab some plums and start baking! There is so much you can do with those little purple fellas :)
The life of a famous food blogger can be hard sometimes…… So I heard from others. Hahaha ;P
Just kidding – but if you have a food blog and post a lot of recipes and pictures of baked stuff – people have expectations ;)
For example when you’re invited to a party…. No, a bottle of cheap wine won’t do it anymore. You are forced to bake something. Well not really forced (my friends still appreciate cheap wine), but people want something baked from you. If I say it like that it still sounds forced… ;)
I know I am going “borderline” here – there are people that like raisins and then there are “the others”. So I guess the chance you gonna like this recipe are 50:50 ;)
I am definitely a person that likes raisins but I have many friends that hate them, so normally I am leaving them out if possible necessary. In this case here – f*** it – I am putting in loads of raisins. Next time even more! ;))
Sweet braided yeast loaves have a long tradition for Easter Celebrations here in Germany. Or better said all over Europe ;)
I can understand why – it is pretty easy to make (takes some time, but the yeast is actually doing most of the work) and super delicious. And so versatile! You can make those loaves plain, with raisins or other fruits, nuts, poppy seed, chocolate… and then eat it for breakfast or with a coffee in the afternoon or just all day as a snack (that’s how I do it).
I love my job, but in between I love to bake and try new things in the kitchen. A lot of my friends and colleagues encourage me to bake - for a very simple reason: they get the leftovers - and it seems they like it most of the time ;)
