Week 44: Samhain - bambrack

I don't know why i struggle with yeast breads so much. I can never get them to proof properly so my loaves always come out so deflated and tough.

I went with this recipe, but with candied orange peels swapped out for walnuts because I didn't have any candied peels. I also jad to use zante currantes instead of proper black currants since the latter are nearly impossible to get a hold of in the US. All in all a bit of a rough day for me yesterday baking wise, although the snickerdoodles i made Sunday evening were excellent.

The plate decor made me think it was antenna's coming out of some big insect :/
