Great Bloggers Bake Off #Week 2 Round Up

Once again Helen Hollywood and myself Jenny Berry (*chortle), have been blown away by all the amazing great bloggers who are baking out there and joining in with our linky! Thank you – I am chuffed to bits by your support and enthusiasm for your baking and how adventerous you – and I – are getting. I doubt I would have made bread yet had it not been for this, as I was always too scared!! Now I have made buns and two lots of bread rolls last week! I think bread making may be a little addictive!

However, after much debate Helen and I (apologies to the Hollywood for disturbing her while she was on holiday!) have selected a winner. We decided to go with a breadstick/grissini entry as we felt that these seemed more of a challenge to make and perfect for the linky. In the end it was between two bloggers and it was a close call but we have decided to go with

………… *cue dramatic pause in a Mel and Sue kind of way* ……………

 

Congratulations to Bluebird Sunshine with her basic breadsticks and crispbreads. The simplicity of the bake and the effort of making not just breadsticks but crispbreads aswell , with the pretty garnish just edged the vote in her direction! As the lady herself said

I was so excited to hear the SNAP when I self-judged that I could sit like a loon tonight with a glass of wine and a slab of cheese and devour the lot with a snap, slather, slap.
