Spelt braided bread

This month for the Bataille Food challenge, I am sharing with you a typical recipe of my host country, Switzerland, the butter braided bread. As I do not want to be too classical, I baked the version using spelt flavour. I used the recipe of Betty Bossi, the reference here in cooking. Every Swiss family got at least one of her books.

Spelt braided bread

Few years ago, a French bakery chain named PAUL, not sure if you ever heard about it where you are, came in Switzerland and open a large shop in Lausanne’s center. But they shut down the store very quickly, that’s was a complete disaster. A Swiss needs his butter braided bread on sunday … and PAUL didn’t adapt their offer to the local customers. A shame because unlike the Swiss, I love PAUL and their croissants.

Speaking about Switzerland, I got great news, only 2 more years to wait before I can apply to become a Swiss citizen ! I hope that they will take my Swiss cooking into consideration :).

    Am I missing something or is it really not possible to leave a ‘like’ on your posts. It’s a quick way to say that it’s appreciated without the need to write a comment. I’ve meant to ask several times in the past. I follow you in my reader which I open when I have time but don’t want to overload my already overloaded email by signing up to email notices of new posts. 400g spelt flour/100g plain white flour: is that right?
