I cannot remember why now, but yesterday I thought to tell Duckling about braided bread. I showed her photos, and she had to draw me a picture of what she wanted. Today was a test run. One ball of dough split between the two shapes. I think I need two balls, or at least 1 1/2 to make the heart look like a heart.

This is what she wanted. I’m happy it turned out well enough for her.

I have bread in the freezer already. I see french toast and/or bread pudding in my future.
