sweet bread

Last week L asked me to try a christmas stollen recipe, I thought why not give it a try, since I am still obsessed with bread lately.

However, after seeing the recipe I realized some of the ingredients are not easily obtainable in Mumbai, so I decided to alter the recipe a little bit. Here are the changes I have made :

1. I substituted the raisins and mixed fruits with chopped dates.

2. I added a little bit more water. (total maybe about 140-150g)

3. I didn't put almond flakes, melted butter (for brushing), and rum.

4. Lastly, I reduced the amount of butter to 20g only

Nevertheless, I still like the outcome, it's sweet, rustic, and definitely a comfort food :)

Here's the link for the recipe : http://esjoie.wordpress.com/2008/12/14/christmas-bread-stollen/

Happy trying and don't give up!
