One rainy Saturday night in March, Sara and I got together with our friend, Cat, to enjoy some baked deliciousness and a movie, namely Sex & the City 2. The movie was terrible but luckily the baked deliciousness was quite... delicious.
The dough was quite sticky at first, but a little extra flour resolved that problem. It also had a little difficulty rising (should've fed the yeast first!) but it was nothing a warm oven couldn't fix.
We decided on the suggested filling of chopped nuts (we combined walnuts and pecans), chocolate, sugar, cinnamon and a little nutmeg. It was a great combination, although it left us craving a straight-up cinnamon-sugar concoction sans chocolat. Ah well -- maybe next time.
Shaping the log was fun.
A little tricky.
But still fun.
Sara and I each made one. Whose is whose?
They both baked beautifully -- gorgeous golden brown color.
And the filling was really tasty--simultaneously light, due to the meringue, and very rich.
Thanks for another wonderful challenge. We're looking forward to April!
