Hip hip hip Hurray: Bread Baking Day (#26)

engels.amer vlag We're baking for Jamie, who hosts this month Bread-event that was initiated by Zorra. She told us to bake a bread for a birthdayparty, after all "Life's a feast". And guess what... she meant hér birthday! Today she celebrates and man she'll be having a very big party with all that bread coming her way. I could make you believe that I choose this day for this entry, but I would be lying, I'm always late writing this event for some reason, but Jamie's special day speeded me up a few days.

I had to give it some thought what a festive bread would be, if I want to make it festive here with bread the kids 'demand' rolls! Rolls are a special treat, not as boring as a slice of bread. So rolls it would be. And when I found these buttery, croissant-like rolls I knew they had to become the entry for this month. I hope you like'em Jamie, we sure did. Happy Birthday to you!!

Flaky Butter Buns (p.146) Unfortunately no recipe anymore. I was (kindly) asked to remove my adapted version from my blog. Dan Lepards manager is afraid it will keep people from buying his book(s). All bloggers know that seeing recipes being baked/made from what ever book, makes you more eager to buy it. Shame.

Vlag nl klein Bread baking Day (nr.26): Hieperdepiep...

We bakken deze keer voor Jamie ("Life's a feast") die deze keer dit broodfestijn verzorgd. We moesten een brood bakken om naar een verjaardag mee te nemen.... nou ja een verjaardag, ze bedoelde eigenlijk háár verjaardag. Want ze is vandaag jarig! Nou die krijgt een flink feest, met in ieder geval genoeg te eten met al dat heerlijke brood dat die kant op gaat. Ik zou je natuurlijk kunnen wijsmaken dat ik speciaal gewacht heb tot deze dag om deze inzending te publiceren, maar ach dat gelooft toch niemand, ben tegenwoordig steeds zo laat. Maar Jamie's verjaardag zorgde wel dat ik het tenminste niet tot de allerlaatste dag laat hangen.

Ik moest eerst wel even nadenken wat voor brood ik mee zou nemen naar een feestje. Als ik er hier een feestelijke (brood)maaltijd van wil maken, verlangen de kinderen naar kleine broodjes... en dus werden het broodjes. En toen ik deze rijke, overheerlijke, croissant-achtige bolletjes zag, leken me die perfect voor een party. Ik hoop dat je ze lekker vind Jamie, wij vonden dat in ieder geval wel. Fijne Verjaardag!

Helaas ook hier geen recept meer, Dan Lepard is bang dat mijn aangepaste recept mensen zal afhouden van het kopen van zijn boek(en), bloggers weten dat het juist als reclame werkt als er uit een bepaald boek gebakken/gekookt wordt. Maar natuurlijk is het zijn goed recht dit verzoek aan mij te richten. Ik heb het recept verwijderd.

Hope you don't mind me commenting, but isn't the Dan Lepard book called "The Handmade Loaf" ? He has a great website at www.danlepard.com where in the Forum you'll find lots of photos and also advice from him to bakers from around the world.

Lien said...

@ StoneRose, of course I don't mind you commenting, I need all the help I can get :). And you're absolutely right. I've corrected it now. THANK YOU!

Hi Lien,
I'm Dan Lepard's manager and while we're really pleased that you like this recipe, we do ask bloggers not to re-publish recipes from Dan's books or his column in The Guardian. It's simply that if the recipes are given away, people don't buy the books, and so we ask people instead to write about their experience of making something, or to post their own photos, but not to give the whole recipe. So when posts like this are brought to my attention, I always ask the blogger to delete the recipe - would you ?

David Whitehouse said...

Hi Lien, I'm not sure why you characterise me as "Dan Lepard's boyfriend", I'm afraid that I'm much too old to be anyone's "boy" friend and I wrote to you as Dan's manager, which is my job. I'm sure you're not using the term in an unpleasant way, but it could be misinterpreted.
We obviously have different opinions about whether bloggers giving recipes away sells books, my experience is that it doesn't, and no-one left a message here saying they'd buy the book after reading the recipe. But thank you for taking the recipe down.

Lien said...

My fault, I thought from your blog ( 1 apartment, 2 blokes, 1 cat or was it a dog?...) that you were together. It was by no means meant in an unpleasant way! I later saw at the Mellow Bakers you were his manager. I've adjusted the text, for I don't want anyone to feel bad about that. I apologize for this minunderstanding.
