So it's been one year since we started make this little blog and boy does time fly by.

Thanks to my dad for coming out for my birthday, made some really great meat pies
that we have been eating the last two days. Actually took some to work and it got ate so fast one person referred to it as "crack pie"

so thanks for the happy birthdays and to another year

This is one of our core items,very traditional danish shaped in the style of a figure 8.

First we soak the raisins both golden and dark over-night in a mix of water and sugar really give them a chance to hydrate, then we roll out our danish dough and spread a thin layer of vanilla pastry cream and dust with cinnamon sugar. The pastry cream adds moisture to the dough.

Take your raisins out of the liquid and let them drain and save the water good for later,  spread the raisin mix over your dough, then roll up each side meeting in the middle. At this point we cut into sheet pan size logs and store in the refrigerator to firm up. After the firming processes happens we portion at a huge weight of 150g (biggest thing we make) and give a shape by twisting into each other.

Set up to proof, when ready to bake egg wash and sprinkle with grain sugar, bake until golden brown,
while in the oven we reduce the raisin syrup when pain raisin come out of the oven we brush with the raisin syrup.

Really good to share with a friend.

So here is a few comments from the baked potato bread we did for a restaurant couple months back it seems to be a hit,
It just goes to show you how important bread is.






"we devoured the yummy herby bacon bread-soft and warm perfect to soak up that cocktail that was going right to my head"


"They also have this amazing potato bread that when topped with some of their chive butter tastes just like a baked potato." 


"I honestly enjoyed every bite! In addition to what is listed on the bill, we enjoyed fresh baked potato and parmesan herb bread... delicious!"


"The bread they serve prior to the meal is stuffed with bacon (weird but oh so delicious.) "


"Doughnuts, stuffed with apple pie filling and drizzled with cinnamon anglaise, were bites of pure comfort"


"What I liked was the bread & butter "


"Parmesan bread and a Potato Bread served with a spread made of Butter, Sour Cream and Chives. Both breads were fresh, moist and golden brown. Our favorite, though, was the potato bread with a generous slathering of the butter. That was an inspired creation as it did taste like a baked potato. Our meal was off to a great start."


"We had such a wonderful time and the food was fabulous! The bread, to start, was a good sign of what was yet to come. The choice of parmesan bread and a potato, cheese, and bacon bread."
