Thanks, Teri. Yeah, I felt like I was living on the edge for sure with that toothpick thing. Which tells you how exciting my life is these days! – Janice

Wow, that is one of the nicest I’ve seen! Really nice shaping and the toothpicks were genuis. I thought about using them, but chickened out because I thought it might ruin the bread. Way to be courageous! Also, I really enjoy your humor!

Thanks,
Teri

Thank you! And, yes, I feel so lcuky/lucky to be part of this bread-baking group, which has the perfect balance of enough structure, yet not too many rules, to keep me feeling inspired. (And, believe it or not, when typing this, I actually typed the word lucky as “lcuky,” which I found very funny on this cloudy, cold Sunday morning.) – Janice

Why, thank you! By the way, I tried to leave a comment on your blog the other day – it kept asking me to sign in to wordpress. (Although I was using an online translator to understand where to click, and maybe the words weren’t translated properly.) I wanted to tell you that I really like the look of your blog and I actually like how your loaf explodes from the bottom, as if it has so much life inside that it cannot be contained! – Janice

Hi Laura – Thanks! I see you are in the Bay Area, as well. I think the bread is so different with the mahlab than it would be with the allspice, etc. (Or I imagine, since I haven’t tried it with the other spices yet.) I have a whole jar of the mahlab sitting here – if you’d like some to use when you try the bread with fruit and nuts, just let me know and I’ll be happy to figure out how to get some to you. – Janice

It looks beautiful! I only made the simple versions, but would love to try this one with all the fruit and nuts.

Nice idea with the toothpicks. I would say the curls came out perfect!
