Soft Easter Yeast Wreath

Every year for Easter I wonder why I don’t make this soft and fluffy breaided yeast bread more often. It is only the two of us, yet, somehow we gobble it up in no time. Yes, I usually start this wreath two days in advance, but most of the time is just waiting. I have a KitchenAid, so I don’t even have to knead. The main thing to do is get the braiding correctly, but other than that there is not that much to do.  I like to do the second rise overnight in the fridge. One trick I have learned is to stick the bread from the fridge immediately into the hot oven. No need to first let it come to room temperature. So convenient as you can make it right for breakfast. I really love this cloud-like bread, so delicious!

Braided Yeast Heart

If you are looking for a yeast bread recipe that only requires you to throw together ingredients, look no further. This braided yeast heart may be just for you. No pre-doughs necessary, no extra steps, just letting yeast and time do its magic. But be warned, this recipe requires a total of roughly 8-9 hours. You will have little to do during this time, but you will need to plan accordingly. I even allowed for more time, I first let the dough rise for 6 hours and then placed it already shaped to a heart in the fridge overnight before baking. I was curious, would I taste any difference? I already have a braided yeast bread recipe on my blog that does require pre-doughs, would this recipe be just as good if ingredients are thrown together?

Roasted Strawberry Pie

Today I am presenting a roasted strawberry pie with some braided topping. My strawberry season was extremely long this year. I started in Spain on holiday where they were already at the end of the season to return to Germany and continue. Here in Munich lockal strawberries are just available now, so I have been eating fresh and local strawberries for quite some time now. I didn’t know this, but roasted strawberries are even better than just baked strawberries, believe me, this is a special treat.
