Sweet Bread with Raisins & Candied Citrus
I have a terrible weakness for sweet bread. Not the sticky-sweet-cinnamon-roll kind, but the yeasty, nectarous confections the French call Viennoiserie. They’re near-pastry but not quite; they beckon as croissant, pain au chocolat, panettone and other... read more
