Baking Day with Baby Bear Stew Cookbook
Today was a day set aside for baking, and baking day it was!!! I made 6 loaves of Armenian Bread/Choreg (on page 152 in the Baby Bear Stew Cookbook) and 5 Xmas Tree Breads (on page 159 in the Baby Bear Stew Cookbook). We began a tradition in our family long long ago to have Xmas Tree Bread on Christmas morning while we open our stocking gifts. We have passed this tradition on for 4 almost 5 generations now. I did realize, with all my girls living away from our town in their own homes that I would be making the Xmas Tree Breads by myself this year. I actually want to have a hands on baking day with them and any interested grandchildren to make sure they know the special secrets of making Choreg and Xmas Tree Bread, so I need to schedule that someday soon. In the meantime-get yourself a copy of the Baby Bear Stew; Family Heritage Cookbook and if you want me to set up a baking day with you give me a call or send me an email. Hands on baking lessons are the BEST!!!
You may have a family traditional recipe that you like to make during the holidays. Why not get together with your kids or grandkids or friends and have a baking day. It is a great time for food fun and fellowship.
Here are some pictures of the Xmas Tree Breads.
You start with a yeast dough.
You let it rise and roll out into a tree shape.
You fill it with a brown sugar, walnut and cinnamon mixture. Roll over the sides and pinch down the middle and cut the edges for the Xmas tree effect. Let it rise again and bake.
Here is your finished products, ready to freeze until Christmas morning. Check back tomorrow and I might share the entire recipe.
Enter the giveaway and you might be the lucky recipient of a copy of Baby Bear Stew; Family Heritage Cookbook or stay tuned for the Growing Weisser shopify account to open soon so you can buy a copy of the cookbook right off the blog website.
