The final exams started last friday for my daughter and it will be finished by next week thursday.
So morning she is gone to school and afternoon she is learning in her room for the nexdays exams.
And what do I do as I am just hanging around here at home as I don't want to go here and there when she is learning, not that she would stop learning when I am gone, just that I feel guilty if I go here and there ( means window shopping, cycling etc...) thinking to myself how can I have fun when she is stitting home and learning, when it is such beautiful weather.
So what do I do bake.
According to my daughter I fatten up her druing her exams as I bake and make desserts,
So the moment I saw this delicous bread in DK's place Chef in You i knew I will be making them.
As it was looking so beautiful.
She has this wonderful step by stpe pictures there so go and check it out and I am sure you will also run to the kitchen and make this delcious bread like I did.
I didnt know what to call this bread, she calles it Zopf swiss bread.
But as i added raisins to the dough I didn't know if i could give the same name.
I thought i will just give Double Braided Bread.
Normally I take step by step pictures when I make something, but now she has that in her place I thougth why should I do that work again :-)
She made one braid and then made smaller knots.
I did double braid.
I am sure going to use this recipe again and again.
Sending this to Yeast Spotting at Wild Yeast.

That is so well done......yeast is always a disaster for me.

Gorgeous! I saw this at Dk's too, & have plans to make it.. only when my oven gets fixed:-)
love your addition of raisin, i love raisins in my bread, the little sweet bites
lovely ...
vat a lovely braided bread.. yummm perfect for break fast. thanx for sharing and as usual nice shotss!!
cheers!!
Beautifully braided! Looks lovely HC.
Your Zopf looks great. I love the crumb texture, it is perfect.
I would call it a Zopf, because that is the most common name for braided bread in Germany. Or more precisely a Rosinen-Zopf (because of the raisins in it). The big diffrent between a swiss Zopf and a german Zopf is that a swiss Zopf is not sweet, while the dough of a german Zopf contains some sugar.
That bread is gorgeous...a perfect braid - almost too good to eat!
