Feb 15 Bread braid

Made 1/2 recipe Chocolate Espresso WW Bread dough.
Then added cranberries and Ghirardelli dark chocolate tidbits for Chocolate Tangerine Bars except greased a heart shaped jello mold and sprinkled Wilton's Sparkling Sugar in the bottom. Instead of tangerine I used tangelo fresh from the tree down here in Texas. Tangelo is a cross between a tangerine and grapefruit.......very yummy!!!



Then I made some heart shaped muffins from the Chocolate Espresso WW Bread dough in a silicone muffin pan.



This was not one of my favorites but glad to have given it a try.

I had another bucket of herb dough to have some fun with from the first book!!!
Herb Bread from ABin5 master boule was dusted with flour and slashed with a razor blade because the pan form would get in the way of a serrated knife. I brushed whole egg with 1/2 shell of water then sprinkled seeds; rosemary, thyme, dill, garlic and onion powder. The egg washed it again to help hold the seeds. All the topping on the bread was also put into the dough when I made my batch in the bucket.

The bread was baked at 450 degrees for 30 minutes. And your looking at a homemade pizza peel for smaller convection oven. Also this small peel works great when the dough rests in the microwave for 40-60 minutes.

Here is the crum!!!

I made a great sandwich with this bread.
