“I love this recipe. I'm getting better at the braiding. What is wonderful about this recipe is that you can make the dough and while it's rising, you can take the bowl to a friend or relative's house and bake the loaf. I often make the dough the night before ” — a cook, 5.0★
“On cold days (it's 22 F. in Boston today) I like to bake a break for the aroma and the warmth of the first floor (at least in MY mind it's warming up the first floor!) This is in my kitchen rising now and I can SOOO tell it's a winner. Thank you for this post.” — a cook, 5.0★
