Please join me in giving a warm Canadian welcome to “Life without Lemons”. Originally hailing from the UK and now living in Canada, we are very excited to announce that, Elyse with her fabulous “52 Breads in 2013” will be our weekly guest blogger. If you are looking for some fabulous bread recipes, drop by each week and see what delicious bread Elyse has baked in her kitchen.
This week Elyse has baked, CROISSANTS, #26 of 52 Breads in 2013:
A life without lemons is like swimming in the nude. You can do it, but it just feels wrong.
A Life Without Lemons is my little blog about food, family and an ongoing love affair with gin and tonic. I am a wife, mother of two lovely (loud, messy, crazy) boys, trained butcher and passionate cook of all things tasty. I moved from rainy England to snowy Canada in 2011 and planned to make friends and influence people with food and gin.
In 2013 I have embarked on a baking mission to make 52 different breads. All of the recipes are from one book – Women’s Institute: Bread. I have no special tools or fancy equipment. Just me, my kitchen and a pre heated oven.
Why not come along for the ride and make some bread……….
PAIN AU CHOCOLAT ~ #27 of 52 Breads in 2013 {Recipe}
Just like bread #26 Croissants they take time, patience and butter but you get the added bonus of melted chocolate goodness hidden inside the layers of flaky goodness. I would always use the very best chocolate that you enjoy eating. I went for a dark Swiss chocolate with sea salt but feel free to add whatever chocolate you like eating.
TASTE: They are very decadent and are perfect for a leisurely brunch with a good cup of coffee and some peace and quiet- well one can dream- I got the Pain au Chocolat and the coffee just working on that peace and quiet!
Oh that looks so yummy I’ll have to give it a try.
Nickida, it makes me hungry just looking at the picture!
Yummmm, it would indeed be just what it takes to relax….!!
Doesn’t it look delicious Pat!
