bigugli Posted December 18, 2013 Report Posted December 18, 2013 the bigugli starts cooking like a fanatic. Spent the entire morning baking up a mountain of cookies for the season. Even got a mold for fish cookies this year. Next will be the bread in a few days time.
crappieperchhunter Posted December 18, 2013 Report Posted December 18, 2013 Beat you by a week my friend. Debbe and I had a holiday bakeathon last Saturday. Enjoy the holidays and your goodies

ketchenany Posted December 18, 2013 Report Posted December 18, 2013 My wifes been baking cookies for the last few weeks and has done probably a couple hundred. Trouble is she gives them all away to friends and neighbors and I basically get the leftover crumbs last week there was plate on the sink so I took one, "why are you eating those?" me: just to taste them . . "Those are no good" me: why? They are broken. crappie: if I would have taken the good one it could have been worse!
bigugli Posted December 21, 2013 Author Report Posted December 21, 2013 Then we add the traditional Christmas pulla
aplumma Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 (edited) I think I found me a new best friend. I am a sucker for sweet types of breads. nice job. Art Edited December 21, 2013 by aplumma edited to mean what I meant to say Thanks Roy
206 Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 WoW... I bought a tube of Pillsbury chocolate chunk cookie dough but it never even made it to the oven
Roy Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 Looks great, Bruce. I'm sure they won't last long. Art, don't call them "sweetbreads" here. Sweetbreads are something entirely different. J loves them, I make them for her but I need a lot of sauce to get them down.
aplumma Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 Yea I promise yaa that the other sweetbread is one I haven't had to eat in years I just don't care for organ meat for the most parts. Art
wormdunker Posted December 21, 2013 Report Posted December 21, 2013 Way to go Ugly! My family is Slovak. Gramma used to bake poppy seed cakes & walnut bread. I purchased some in Windsor last week at the local market. Almost as good as gramma's. Pulla looks awesome!!
limeyangler Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 (edited) Then we add the traditional Christmas pulla THAT LOOKS DELICIOUS! Thats not marzipan through the middle is it Bruce? Edited December 22, 2013 by limeyangler
bigugli Posted December 22, 2013 Author Report Posted December 22, 2013 THAT LOOKS DELICIOUS! Thats not marzipan through the middle is it Bruce?No marzipan. The inner loaf is a very rich and buttery soft texture seasoned with that Finnish staple cardamom

There are a couple of German bakers at St Jakobs that make some great poppyseed pastries and bread
limeyangler Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 The swedes do a similar style thing…forgotten the name of it, used to eat loads when i lived there as a kid. looks great even without the marzipan…now all you need is my address to send a parcel

Their spice of choice is cardamom or nutmeg in the dough. The other bread would be vetebrod, something I have not seen made in near 40 years With any of these braids, nothing beats fresh from the oven with a big dollop of fresh churned spread on top.

Fisherman Posted December 22, 2013 Report Posted December 22, 2013 Well we have audio and video, thank god there's no smello meter attached to the computer. Cardamom cookies, where did I put last years recipe. Got to try my hand at cinnimon rolls again, but not that pilsbury junk.
bigugli Posted December 22, 2013 Author Report Posted December 22, 2013 . Cardamom cookies, where did I put last years recipe. .My mother will be bringing the cardamom cookies and ginger snaps. She'd be most upset if I replaced her completely
