Thank you for letting me know Anita.  It is a daunting recipe for anyone that doesn&#039;t like waiting for the results which are most people!  I think it&#039;s wonderful that you are involving her in the kitchen.  Both of my children were and are now very proficient in the kitchen.]]></description>

It  turned out great. My 12 year old daughter and I was making it together but she quit in me, guess there was too many steps. It did take awhile to prep. I ended up leaving the dough in the refrigerator and baked it the next day but it worked out. I will search for a recipe that has not so many steps for her next time. Thank you for the recipe]]></description>

I&#039;ve attempted to make this bread..Now I&#039;m at the step to cover the dough and let it rise..How long does it take to rise before baking? It doesn&#039;t seem to be rising]]></description>

Thank you Jane!  This bread was a little finicky to work with.  The second time around will be much easier.  It was a very wet dough so  instead of adding more flour, I just handled it the best that I could.  It was so pretty and delicious in the end though.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Oh Julie, i too have yet to actually make something from a cookbook I was desperate to get at Christmas. I keep drooling over the picutres and identifying which ones I want to try first but somehow life creeps up on my best laid plans and another week passes by. This Russian bread sounds very intriguing - potato? In sweet chocolate bread? Just the kind of recipe that is sure to deliver a positive surprise. Your loaf looks super - I&#039;ve yet to attempt a successful bread braid :)]]></description>
