Rather than a local restaurant or coffee shop, I would like to recommend some home cooking this week. Many families have Christmas/Hanukkah/Holiday recipes we bake two weeks out of the year, which are to die for. My family makes the classic sugar cookies to decorate, some tasty fudge, and best of all... lemon braids.
Lemon braids are a braided bread with lemon flavored filing, and a glaze covering. Without being too sweet, or too dense, this bread is a great addition to a Christmas morning breakfast, midday snack, or desert after a big ol’ holiday dinner. I love this recipe so much; I would like to share it with you. So, for all those who tried out Sourdough starters during the beginning of lockdown, or want a new tradition, I hope you enjoy it.
