A Little Bit of All Right

King Arthur's March Bake Along was for a Butterflake Herb Loaf: http://blog.kingarthurflour.com/2017/03/01/butterflake-herb-loaf-bakealong/ I actually did bake this in March, but it took until yesterday to get the pictures off the camera!    The technique is that you roll out the bread dough, cut large circles, spread filling on the circles, fold them into semicircles and stack in your bread pan to make a pull-apart loaf.  The recipe was a little fiddley for what is basically garlic bread, but it wasn't hard to follow, and everyone liked it.  One of the loaves The loaf pulled apart I followed the recipe as listed, but the website also includes options for other types of fillings including a sweet filling.

It tasted as good as it looked An InLinkz Link-up
