cherry blossoms in February and fine food scents .... Entertainment With 'Nanu Nana' I have bought recently artificial cherry blossom branches at a moderate price, then plucked all the flowers and leaves, and these are individually fine silver wire to the corkscrew hazel branch on the table attached. It is a little work, but looks much more natural without a handle.
We feed now under springtime cherry blossom sky ...
missing only the scent .

For this, there here: Switzerland's favorite bread -
the Sonntagszopf
Almost every Saturday I bake for us and our retired neighbors a braid.
I braid it nearly always with 4 strands to make it uniform slices There.
But the classic braid is small on the front, rear large.
Unfortunately the smell lasts only briefly, because he is too fast geg eat (fr).
I always use this recipe:
recipe Swiss Zopf
500 gr Zopfmehl
(Zopfmehl consists of wheat flour and 10-15% spelled .
thus contains more gluten than pure wheat flour.
The dough is smooth, goes on well and pulls
the kneading not together.
well suited also for fatty dough.)
2 tsp salt 2 tsp sugar
20gr. fresh yeast 3 dl warm milk
60gr.Butter
For brushing: 1 egg yolk and mix verklopfen contact with a few drops of water
Measure flour, then the soft butter in the flour and cut into thin flakes.
by hand with the flour mix (rub between fingers until no butter lumps are felt more)
make in the middle of a depression, crumble yeast into it, then sprinkle with the sugar and pour a little of the lukewarm milk. Then sprinkle a little flour on the Hefemulde.
wait 10 mins - (= dough), the yeast is activated by the sugar.
then add the remaining ingredients, mix well and knead until dough is pretty easy.
(cut with a knife: the dough should have small bubbles).
cover the bowl with a damp cloth and leave to rise at least 1.25 hours to rest and leave.
then weave the braid with egg yolk and
Again let rise for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 220 ° and the Braids in the lower half of oven baked
about 30 to 35 minutes.
If you knock with your fingers on the bread sounds hollow ground and it is the finished braid.
En goodness! Tastes still warm and with a little butter smeared sinfully good!
