Kayla you're so sweet !I'm needing help withe trying to find out from anyone here about my issue .I do appreciate you talking time out to write the recipe Heather made this awesome bread ! Thank you thank you sweetie love you 💕 !
Awww I just love Matt eating that bread. Your family has suffered a horrible loss but all of us will miss him so much, he had the greatest reactions. 😢
Oh my the combinations would be endless with this bread. How about lemon with cranberries or blueberries with a lemon glaze or chocolate and white chocolate with a orange glaze or white chocolate with cranberries with a white chocolate glaze, ??????????? endless.
How would you make it blueberry? New to bread making myself so I'm eating up all the knowledge I possibly can. Thanks for any ideas, it is greatly appreciated 😊
@@jennifermack5804 I'm new to bread baking too Jennifer. 🙂 I don't know if there's such a thing as blueberry flavoring, like there is vanilla, raspberry, almond etc For the blue berries themselves, when I use them fresh or frozen in baking, I always smash up some of what the recipe calls for..If a recipe calls for 2 cups of blueberries, I would take a 1/2 - 3/4 cup aside and smash them up with a potato masher, or use my emerson blender on them..A couple reasons why..To release the flavor of the berries and secondly so they don't occupy alot of space in the batter. I have been very successful baking with regular all purpose flour..bread flour is a whole different ball game. Using bread flour, my breads have come out heavy and doughy in flavor but rose better than all purpose flour..I've made cinnamon bread with bread flour twice and this is what has happened. I've been very successful with pepperoni cheese bread..Made that twice as well but with regular all purpose flour..I followed Heather's recipe for the dough but added my own ingredients. Good luck baking breads! 🙂
I can see you're strength is shining through all your pain and heartache! You're a strong mother who recognizes that all your sweet children (all no matter the age) need you so very much! I pray your physical and mental strength continues to grow! God Bless and help your whole family!
Chocolate and orange bread...who would have thought. You are so creative with your baking and canning. Thank you, Heather, for sharing your passion for these almost lost arts. God bless.
I love your bread videos. You are such a sweet human being for lbringing your videos back for all of us to enjoy. I am so sorry for the great loss you are going through. Prayers for strength and healing going out to you and your children.
It's beautiful! Showed m husband and he wants it. So we're on our way to buy the black cocoa powder and pure orange extract. He's s happy hubby! He's the chocoholic of the two of us.
I just love your recipes. Being new to bread baking, canning, gardening & preserving…I have learned so much from you! I thank God for you & I truly appreciate you ❤️
Happy Sunday Heather Oh my goodness , I enjoyed watching you make this bread 👍 You did an awesome job making this beautiful braided bread 🍞 Thank you so much Have a blessed day ❤️ Brenda
Orange and chocolate go together like, I was going to say peanut butter and jelly but they go together like, orange and chocolate. Thank you for all of your hard work. I can empathize with hands that don't work properly. But if you want it you got to make it. Love to all from Texas and Merry Christmas!
I have never baked bread or canned , I had a stroke and can’t do any of it imlove atchingnyour videos and pretending in my head that I can do it all the videos are very soothing thank you very much!
When I saw this video on the Chocolate Orange Bread I knew I wanted to make it for my brother and sister in law for the holidays. So today I did a trial run and oh my is it so easy to make and the taste just wow and I'm not very fond of the orange taste but I plan on making another for here at home. Thank you so much for the recipe and all that you do on your channel you and your family are just pure joy.
Heather... You have outdone yourself. This is the ultimate in decadence! Thank you for doing this! Best wishes from Kate in Olympia, WA - 11:25 pm - 12/5/2020.
Made it today! Turned out beautiful! Looking forward to having it for Christmas dinner tomorrow. Thank you for being a wonderful teacher! You're instructions and video made it easy to reference as I made mine.
I am going to get the orange extract today and make several loaves for friends. The dough looks amazing. As I watched you handle it I was truly excited. Thanks so much. This will be a hit on the Christmas buffet. MERRY CHRISTMAS ❤️
Heather, I’m watching the the video chocolate swirl bread such a extraordinary beautiful loaf of bread, and as always Matt’s there to glorify first taste of what you made. He really loved your food. The loos he gave to define his tasting. He always made you laugh. What a lovable man! Rest In Peace Matt!😞✝️🌷
I have 2 loves of it rising right now!!! I added a little powdered espresso to the chocolate dough and a little orange liqueur and orange essential oil to the orange side! Thank you so much for the inspiration!!! ❤️
I made a sourdough variation of this beautiful bread several times... to rave reviews. I had never made a braided bread before. I did it with orange and chocolate once, and vanilla and chocolate another time, and once I even wrapped each strand of braid around almond paste. Omg!
OMG, Heather! What a lovely, yummy, and mouth watering bread! Your orange twist is definitely brilliant. I love to see you make bread, very calming! Will definitely be making it! Thanks for sharing your awesome creativity! Love, luv, luv! ❤️❤️👏👏👍👍👍🌟🌟🥰🥰☺️☺️
Wow! I'm definitely gonna try this, after having tried the Cinnamon Swirl with success. Aaaannnnd.....chocolate and orange is a flavor combination that I absolutely love. Thanks for sharing.
Masterpiece!! So beautiful. I love the technique. It really accentuates the swirl inside the bread. When you purchase bread and cut it you can barely see any differentiation in the dough's. The outside is gorgeous. You have a winner here. Let's talk Matt. He is so cute. He gets just as excited to taste your creations as you do in making them. Love you as a couple.
This is BEAUTIFUL Heather!!! P.S. I canned apple pie filling with your recipe. Wonderful results! All sealed perfectly, no leakage! Thank you sooo much 😊
Thinking of you, sweet Heather. I'm sure going to try this recipe some time. I hope and trust that you'll soon be well, and baking up some storms again! Hugs and best wishes. From South Africa xx
I bake bread everyday using my sourdough starter which I followed you for. My bread lasts 5 minutes in our house. So have started baking 2 medium loaves instead of 1 large loaf at least it lasts till the afternoon with dinner. Thank you for sharing your bread recipes 😋.
❤ sending my love,hugs and healing to you and yours. I'm so very sorry. My heart goes out to you. ❤ I decided that i should rewatch all my fav videos to refresh myself on the amazing things you've shared!!! 😉
