  7. Hi!! Your breads looks so lovely. I just had a failed bread session this week. i was making soft buns. Arghhh so frustrating, it's the yeast. It was proofing really well but then just before it went into the oven, it collapsed. Sigh!!!

  10. WHOA! How I wish I could make bread look as delectable as yours! Bread is so difficult (for me) to make! How do you do it? The last time I tried making bread (sandwich bread), it came out brick hard. However, prior to going into the oven, it looked like it had a lot of potential! So terrible.

  13. I am so jealous of your brioche: it looks gorgeous! Hopefully I'll have success with mine next time ... my recipe called for cake flour, sounds like I should try my luck with bread flour.

  17. The beer bread looks absolutely beautiful!

    Thank you so much for sharing the recipes specially the pate de fruit. The only ingredient I don't have is the apple pectin which I presume is in powder form. I wonder if I can eliminate this altogether or substitute it with either fruit pectin powder or liquid [homemade] apple pectin. I can't wait to make these.:)
