Blueberry Braided Bread: A Guest Post
My post today is over on The Pastry Affair, a gorgeous baking blog written by Kristin Rosenau.
Kristin started out as an astroparticle physicist. Then, in 2010, Kristin left physics to work as a baker (she's pretty good at it... Hello, Nutella Espresso Rolls.). She worked as a full-time baker for two years, tutoring on the side, then changed course once more, to go back to graduate school to become a physics teacher. As you can imagine, I've followed her journey with great interest as the parallels between our lives played out across the ocean.
While Kristin goes through a few more life changes, she asked me to write a guest post. I made this soft, sweet braided bread with blueberry compote and cream cheese filling and got a bit carried away with braiding metaphors. You can find the post, recipe and photos of the finished braid here.
Three recipes of Kristen's that I'd love to try:
Chocolate Chunk Ginger Cookies
Pumpkin Espresso Bread
Toasted Almond Cookies with a Dried Fig Filling

Ca a l'air trop bon. Trop trop bon.
ReplyDeleteAu fait, merci encore pour les recettes des meringues. Est tenté hier la recette des meringues francaises. J'ai fait un "tabac" (ai eu un grand succés).
Ai mis quelques photos sur mon blog et me suis permise de citer votre blog.

Un grand remerciement,

"Ai" tenté pas "est" tenté. Je vous écris en français. Et en plus je fais des fautes d'orthographe...
ReplyDeleteC'est Français... ... je sais bien...

Hi Emma. A beautifully written and insightful post, a delicious recipe and an introduction to a new blog which, on first glance, looks like another good one. What more could we ask for?! Could I just check a point on the braiding? Unless I am mistaken, it looks like you have folded two strips over each time. Is this correct? Thank you. X
ReplyDeleteHi Lucy. I'm so pleased you liked the post and have popped over here. With the braiding I did R over, then L over, then L over to go under R over, then R over to go under L over if that makes sense? You can also just alternate L-R, I was overthinking it that day! Hope that helps.
ReplyDeleteJe suis heureux que vous avez aimé la recette, Marina.
ReplyDeleteThat bread looks quite something. Don't know about you, but I'm contemplating emigrating to the US exclusively for its cheap and plentiful blueberries.
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful....and how handy :-), we have lots of blueberries.
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Nan
Heh, I don't know that I'd go quite that far but I do love blueberries! Glad you like the bread.
ReplyDeleteThat's good timing. I'm glad you like it.
ReplyDeleteNew to your lovely space! I tried this yesterday with peaches and the bread came out looking beautiful and tasted great! Thanks much for sharing the recipe!
ReplyDeleteHi Emma, wonderful post as always! Have you tried Richard Bertinet's technique of forming the dough? I have and what he claimed is true! The bread is really airy and soft as compared to the traditional fold-over-itself. I hope you try it too and share your experience here. :)
