Baking Challenge

Chocolate Bread

Give your bread a name and tell us about your recipe.

Chocolate Brandy Old Fashioned Challah Bread

Would you describe yourself as a rogue baker, or do you strictly adhere to the recipe?

It’s a rogue situation over here. Ingredients are often substituted. The result is often a (nice) surprise.

Tell us about how you added a Wisconsin twist to your bread creation.

Dried cherries were rehydrated in brandy and added to the dough along with chocolate, orange peel and bitters.

How did you do?

Pleasantly satisfied.
