I am always on the lookout for bread recipes which we can eat during breakfast with a little bit butter or jam and in the night if needed it can be used for making sandwiches. I am open to the idea of making various kinds of bread, as it is a sort of bread baking adventure. I was planning to bake baguette for a long time, and finally I did make it a few days ago. The result was a tasty bread, which looks like a sword. After baking it I realized baguette is a simple looking bread, which is tough even for a experienced baker . So I have dropped the idea of making it again in the short time, but plan to take it up again in a couple of month’s time. I have a strong determination left in some part of my brain, to conquer the baguette.

Making bread can certainly be addicting - just the mixing and kneading and rising alone are so meditative. And that to say nothing of the taste of bread! This looks like a really gorgeous loaf. Thanks for sharing with the Hearth and Soul hop.

I can imagine that wonderful smell of freshly baked bread. Yum. BTW, the syrup can last for a very long time. I have sour cherries syrup which I made more than a year and it's wonderful.
