I made Conchas!  I’d never had a Concha straight off the cooling rack, still warm.  It’s a life changing experience.  So yummy!  There were three topping flavors: vanilla, five spice, and chocolate.  They were all super tasty and it was actually pretty easy to make (if you have a kitchen aid and some bread baking experience).  I used the recipe from the Sept/Oct 2018 Bake From Scratch.  10/10 will bake again.

Today I made biscotti for the first time.  I made the Cranberry Orange-Walnut Biscotti from Baking With Less Sugar.  This recipe used honey instead of white sugar and ended up with a lovely flavor.  The recipe only uses the zest of an orange and it loses most of that flavor during the drying process.  If I make this again I might add a drop or three of orange oil to the batter.
