Since I turned 30, I said, 'This is the year I will make Brioche!' It's not a bread I've been particularly intimiated by, just one I hadn't gotten around to. It's also supposed to be fantastic. That said, I did make Bricohe Sticky Buns for Christmas Eve and last week we made those Brioche Hamburger Buns. Both recipes were excellent, so I have hopes for this bread as well. We started the dough at 4:30pm and finally put it in the fridge around 8pm. We'll take it out tomorrow morning around 8 and have the bread to eat around 10:30am. (See why it's taken me so long to get around to it?) I am hoping that the bread will still be warm when we see Darling for lunch.
My sister's birthday is in 2 days and I am making a special dinner for this incredibly special person. We are having Beof Bourginon with 3 Day Croissants and No Bake Chocolate Souffle for dinner. I'll probably do a cheese and cracker appetizer to keep that course simple. We started the croissants tonight (the dough needs time to 'grow' for flakiness). Fortunately, I've made all these recipes before, so making them should be a breeze.
Recently, I was surprised at how much pita bread costs at the grocery store, so I set out to find a simple and good recipe. Mission semi-accomplished (aka recipe found). Wednesday we'll be having pita pizzas for lunch (us 3, my sister, bro-in-law and some friends in town). Recipe link here: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/peppys-pita-bread/. I'll let you know how it goes.
