It turned out that they are not nearly as difficult as I thought they might be when I started. I used the recipe from Sherry yard's Secrets of Baking. A time consuming but so worth it.

My previous challenge had been chocolate babka. Finally, motivated and inspired by a Seinfeld rerun, I used Deb's recipe on smittenkitchen.com - again. how great! I think I'm ready for a new challenge and will probably find some as this post continues. Sat Nov 07 15:16:48 -0800 2009 5163849 47777 janeh
