Bread Baking Babes scare vampires

This month our lovely and very talented Natashya ("Living in the kitchen with puppies") made sure we won't be attacked in our sleeps by vampires. A wonderful rustic loaf with garlic... lots of garlic! But fear not that you'll blow your spouse into a coma, the garlic (3 whole bulbs!!!) is sautéed and sweet caramelised. A bit of tang from the Balsamico, I used a very old and thick balsamico, therefor my garlic cloves look a little darker than most, but no fear they're not burned. The dough was quite wet, maybe wetter than the picture showed in the book. But hey we handled wetter doughs, so no worries about that mate!

The fragrance in your kitchen will be a delight. I made three smaller loaves and they went very well with soup. Although the kids  liked the taste, they were a bit squeamish about have to eat those garlic pieces. Maybe they were a bit too large (even though I halve the biggest cloves), as that can vary a lot from bulb to bulb.

You're smelling it already right? You wanna bake this too right? Bake, enjoy, post and send your details (and picture of the bread) to Natashya. (livinginthekitchenwithpuppies AT hotmail DOT com) so she can add you to the round up and send you a Bread Baking Buddy Badge. Deadline 29th of this month.

Dan's Garlic Bread

No recipe I'm afraid, I was asked to remove it by Dan Lepard's manager, because he thinks publishing a recipe makes people not buying the book. He's wrong, cause people want to know if a book is good and can find out by fellow bloggers. It makes people buy the book! Alas, we think different but I've removed the recipe anyway at his requests.

And (my fellow-babes reminded me) we DID have permission from Mr. Lepard to publish this (as he has place the whole recipe on internet himself, so it's not like it's a secret).

A shame.

Bread Baking Babes bestrijden vampieren

Helaas helaas, ik heb het recept moeten verwijderen op verzoek van Dan Lepard's manager. Hij denkt dat het publiceren van één of twee recepten ervoor zorgt dat mensen het boek niet meer kopen. Hij heeft het mis, want het stimuleert mensen juist om een boek te kopen als ze zien dat het een goed boek is. Bovendien hadden we als Babes toestemming gevraagd destijds en gekregen. Én heeft Mr. Lepard het recept zelf ook op internet staan. Dus er worden echt geen staatsgeheimen verklapt. Maar ik ga verder geen reclame voor hem maken, dus het recept is verwijderd.
