Butterkuchen – #GreatBloggersBakeOff2014 Week 6

Bread Week fills me with fear but is never as disastrous as I expect - I should really make bread more often. So, I don't like Rye bread so that ruled that out, I've made ciabatta before (and they were so *cough* wonderful *cough* that I gave them to somebody else) so that just left… Continue reading Prosciutto & Parmesan Bread – #GreatBloggersBakeOff2014 Week 3
