Today I’m going share with you a recipe for a twist bread, full of delicious flavors. Dark golden shell holds a vanilla butter flavor, a surprising touch added right after bread is baked(read more about it in the recipe)
For the filling I used variety of things, from dry fruit, oat, walnuts to chocolate. You can go simple using one filling or you can go with more than one filling. I personally prefer using walnuts but if you are a pecan fan, you can substitute for them instead. Serve this bread plain along with a cup of tea or coffee.
