Challah Bread with Orange Zest and Chocolate Chip!
That is what I made with December’s bonus recipe from the Healthy Bread in 5 Minutes Group. And there is still plenty of time if you want to bake a long with us. The official kick off is next month so ask Santa for that Cookbook and you’ll be set to go! Well…you’ll need a little Vital Wheat Flour but you can easily find that at your grocery store.
The original recipe called for cranberries and orange zest but I knew it would not get eaten in my household as it was written(except by me), so I substituted Chocolate Chips. I know the way to win my family's heart!
I brushed a thin glaze of orange juice and powdered sugar on it and sprinkled it with a course sugar. I also substituted the wheat germ for Cream of Wheat cereal. And I baked it all pretty in my new Kugelhoft Bundt Pan. Doesn't it look so jolly and merry? Perfect for the holiday festivities!
It made some super-duper toast and I’m sure it would make a dynamite bread pudding! I hope to find out! :)

ReplyDeleteI want this pan! I looked all over when we made the Kugelhoft for TWD. Love your photos, so festive :o)
ReplyDeleteMegan! This looks awesome! I still haven't baked mine, but soon! I think I'll save some of the dough for one of my bundt pans & see what happens - this is inspired!
