BBA Greek Celebration Bread
I just finished recipe #2 in BBA. It produces a loaf larger than I am used to but turned out heavenly (at least the housse smells heavenly). I substituted Mixed Fruit and Peel (left over from Christmas cookies) for the Rasins and Dried Cranberries but otherwise followed the recipe. I'm still having trouble with my loafs spreading out rather than raising up during final proofing so my shaping need improving. I thought I got this one pretty tight but it still spread quite a bit. Thank the gods of baking for oven spring. It's still cooling so no crumb shot but I think it is presentable enough to take over to the neighbors for a post New Years get togrther.
