It seems like all cultures have their own delicious holiday breads. Nothing says the holidays like freshly baked goodness. YUm

Ashley – Glad it wasn’t just me! I was wondering if I over-proofed or maybe the proportion of the two bits of dough is off a bit (should reserve a larger portion for the decorative cross)?

Hm I have this bread in the oven right now and I’m just searching around to see how other people’s turned out. I think I overproofed my boule as well, it practically took up the width of my cookie sheet. Such a huge blob, and I had to make strands that were longer than 10″ too.

That bread? There’s no way to describe it other than burnished brilliance. Seriously, maybe my brain decided to whip out some phonics on me, but burnished and beautiful were the two words that came to mind. Gorgeous job!

Wasn’t this great? I loved both making it and eating it. My dough, btw, was the same – much too wet when I first mixed it. I added a little flour…but once I started kneading it came together almost like magic. (And I still can’t figure out why I still needed a 10-inch log to make a cross on a half-sized boule! I think PR made a mistake with that measurement, to be honest!) I’m with a little group which has decided to post every other week, so come by to see mine next weekend if you want!
