I decided to skip the next listed Bread Braid and do the following one instead. My family all like mixed dried fruit in cakes, scones, dampers etc. so I knew it should be popular.
I didn't have any marzipan or almonds so I omitted them and I did use brandy.
I didn't have any marzipan or almonds so I omitted them and I did use brandy.I had seen a five braid dough and thought I would try that shape as I was cooking it in the kitchen oven and could use a long tray.
The shape looked good initially. I didnt photograph it though and I decorated it with cherries and walnuts. This was a mistake as it opened up and the cherries were very crooked. I overcame this by putting more cherries on it and adding some vanilla icing.
The family all enjoyed eating it and as I used a full half quantity in the loaf it went a long way.
