We tried the Christopsomos bread in the Greek Celebration bread list. And we weren't disappointed. The spices added a new dimension to this bread. Did I mention that this is a perfect bread for breakfast? Just a warm slice with some butter or with a chocolate dipping sauce, or with a fruity preserve or even as French Toast. This bread works beautifully without being overtly sweet. While, personally, I like my sweet bread sweet, the glaze did the job for me. There were a lot of discussions on the online forum about the use of glaze. A lot of people didn't try it, while a couple of others swore by it.
Our thumb rule for this challenge is to learn and do the best we can and go the whole hog with the ingredients. We used poolish instead of barm, skipped the cloves and used lemon extract instead of almond extract. We also decided to give the sesame seeds a miss and we certainly didn't miss it! :D
Do try this bread for a weekend brunch and you will be delighted at the results!

Gorgoues bread and the photos are spectacular! Yes, I'm up super late again, and not only beause of my knee, but because of my loss. Speaking of losses, Joba really needs to go to the BP. He barely ever goes more than 5 innings, and his first inning is always awful. Yucky loss last night/morning.
Bread looks gorgeous. Good job.
I love it by the look of it and the glaze shows. beautiful

My father is a huge fan of Christopsomos bread and I always try to bake one for him whenever we see my parents. He has yet to be fully blown away by any of the recipes i've tried. Simplicity is key, and yours looks perfect! Can't wait to try it.
