Weekend Baking ~ #4

Tell me, does that not look delicious? :)

This weekend I only got to bake for one day because I went for a little shopping trip to Kenora for a little shopping trip on Saturday! I just love Kenora :) Yes, it's a tourist trap... but it's a pretty tourist trap!

So without boring you with my gushing about Kenora (cause it was -30 and I didn't get any pictures, maybe next time!) Let's jump right in to the recipe!

• Dissolve yeast in 1/4cup water.

Once again I adapted this recipe from a few different sources and also I used my awesome baking expertise to make it extra yummy! Head on over to my main inspiration, the wonderful Minimalist Baker for a lovely dairy free version of this recipe!

See you next weekend!!
