Breads: Broiche

This time I wanted to make something different, so I decided to make broiche. I hadn't made a French bread before. I was really enjoying baking breads. So this time I went to Better Homes and Gardens Complete Step-By-Step Cook Book again to see if they had a recipe. Here is what I found.

So I began making the broiche. This recipe was different then the other breads I had made. It sat in the refrigerator overnight, then it was suppose to rise again, and so it was baked the next day. The other breads I made all were made and rose the same day.
Here is what the bread looked like as it came out of the oven.

They were very tasty, if fact I shared some with my parents when I went for a visit. They were absolutely delighted. The bread is a buttery goodness, just as you would expect from French cooking.

They make bagels fresh everyday. They have many of your favorite flavors including french toast and jalapeno. They steam their bagels. The afternoon I came in they sold quite a few bagels. They also had scones and elephant ears.

Not only do they have bagels and breads, but they also serve salads, and pastries. Here are their fresh baked breads.
