Hutzelbrot - holiday bread in the 21st century

(download)

My mom, brother Jon and I made six loaves of delicious German holiday yeast bread this last weekend. In doing so, we linked arms with our German ancestors who came to the US in the 1800's.

I should point out that Mom did most of the work and had the memories of her mom from which to draw as well as tech support from her sisters back home in North Dakota.
