I know, it isn’t Tuesday anymore but I’m going to pretend it is while writing this post. I actually went through the effort of making this recipe not once, not twice, but three times over the weekend. I probably should have written my post over the weekend as well (someday I will get in that habit, or so I keep telling myself), but I didn’t and Tuesday found me feeling too far under the weather to sit in front of a computer (or go to work or do much of anything). But enough with the excuses, right, you just want to see the goods…
Here we are on another Tuesday, I’m not sure where the last week went. I was really looking forward to having the day off of work today and being able to bake the TWD assignment actually on Tuesday. It turns out that I haven’t truly had the day off (the ability to work from home is really only a benefit when it doesn’t interfer with time off!) and because of the long wait times involved in this week’s assignment I actually started working on it last night. Oh well, can’t have everything I suppose. Without further ado, this week’s TWD assignment is Kugelhopf (please don’t ask me to pronounce that!) selected by Yolanda of The All-Purpose Girl.
One thing I did like about waiting a couple more days to begin working on this recipe was the opportunity to learn from my fellow TWD-ers’ experiences. The idiom goes “forewarned is forearmed” and I wish it were true in this case, but sadly it just isn’t. The many reports of runny dough and dough that just never rose properly did not in any way save me from experiencing the exact same thing. I did have high hopes of avoiding the “bland” flavor reported by several TWD-ers, but alas, that was not to be either…
