Petya nothing complicated and I get the courage to try, you deal with such complicated recipes do not go!

Done-my cake already made it. Much is being done quickly and easily. I put 4h. cups more flour, but I think that was a little-something I could not decide what you need to make the dough. Smells amazing, we did not yet tried-half wait to come by road. There will be corrective maybe tomorrow. I liked the recipe and method of making. Once again thanks Inche.

Thanks for all the good reviews! Desi, as always - great bread you did! I am very happy! There is nothing complicated or in products, or in preparation. I tried as much as possible with the most detailed pictures to describe step by step the whole process / it to hold the camera with one hand and with the other to shoot not work but still get something! /

mimsi, do not always have at hand the appropriate apparatus for recording, but still gives an idea of ​​how it looks dish. A cake looks great and most importantly, that you liked!

Mary wonderfully served cake, I guess for the holiday :) Happy holiday, albeit with delay!

kind of did not get, but it was delicious

By looking at the pictures I think the reason is that you did deeper cuts / write the recipe - *Use the tip of a knife and apply lines, about 5 mm deep in dough and mark ...* item. is not to cut all the way down, but only to mark half a cm. depth. * At least the picture that I see no reason to porazlee so. Petya, the important thing is that it was delicious, but looks very good with this golden crust!

to this cause, but nothing next time will become another

We really liked the cake. Thank you.

Mary, I'm glad that you tested the recipe and you liked it! Beautiful cake you did! Congratulations :!

Super recipe ... Pitkaaa perfect!

memory, hopefully a photo, I'm glad that you liked it! :)

Wonderful bread, as always with a gorgeous look. Congratulations. I have just one question. Can I replace the flour with another type. Here no longer is available white (Type 500), and cornmeal. Thank you in advance

Liden, cake I made with white flour type 500. This is the most common meal and do not believe in Varna no. Another issue is that there are different brands and the quality is different, although it says *Type 500* :). Appearance not believe to have any significant impact. Otherwise it will be the difference between, for example, as in white bread; type of bread / black /; corn bread or wholemeal bread. Furthermore, you can use dough that you feel the same, only to shape as shown, as it did Lirinka. Good luck!

Thanks to the rapid and comprehensive response. Very nice. His magnificent

lid, where you are, there is no flour there already?

Mila Nevi, live in a country which two years ago was a sign of security, very low prices and abundance. Unfortunately, now is exactly the opposite, but we had no chance to leave. Syria-Hama

This time I made bread, just the recipe! I made a mistake that put it in a pan with a larger diameter. Last time was determined in a small baking pan. But we do not stop her eat with pleasure! It is high time to try, with knit cake, but we will see when ... :)

Bobby, it will come time and the braided bun! :) You are such complex and beautiful cakes do this you will not build! :)

Greetings from Iceland! Bread is great and it is difficult, I have a problem with complex performances. Next time I would put cheese or cheese to see how this will happen and will Sprinkle with sesame, now that I had. Thanks for the recipe!

kadrina, bread really is simple to implement and is glad that he did it. We will wait your interpretation! :)

Now bake. And need about 10 minutes, but the kitchen smells great. I have not the patience to be shot. Thanks for the recipe.
