BBD # 56 – Bread with a Braid for Bread Fashion Show

Jenni from The Gingered Whisk is hostess of Bread Baking Day #56. She challenges us to bake a bread and make it beautiful worthy for a bread fashion show.

I am no fashion designer and also not so into fashion, but I am into baking bread as you know. I can make loaves with perfect crumb and crust but decoration…. well I tried.

Not so bad?! No Haute Couture – I know – more everyday fashion. But as you can see below the crumb is perfect, so is its taste and it is easy to shape, too.

The recipe I used is a variation of my bread project recipe. I just added some seeds into the dough and also sprinkled some over the braid.

Form a squid with 3 tentacles. Braid the tentacles and tuck the braid on the squid’s head meaning on the loaf. Easy, isn’t it?

  1. Dann war ich also nicht die Einzige, für die das Thema eine Herausfoderung war :-) Das Brot sieht sehr hübsch aus, und Alltagsmode ist – wenn wir ehrlich sind – wichtiger als die Haute Couture.

  2. Das ist doch echt schön geworden! Hier gibt es nur Toastbrot. Nebst Milchprodukten vermisse ich doch etwas das gute Brot von daheim. Nun ja, im Paradies kann man nicht alles haben ;-) Dafür gibt es hier eine kleine Bäckerei, die super leckere süsse Teilchen macht.
