This is a perfect Pull-man White loaf a ( 13×4×4) and you will have enough to make one more smaller loaf, a (8×4) , this Pull-man loaf is great for sandwiches , it's heathier for you with the whole wheat , if you mix it with the white flour,  it has a soft clumbs.

I been wanted to made this Pull-man Bread for a long while now , so happy I did.

Hungarian Cranberries Walnut Tartlets

This week the ALPHA BAKERS are making Blueberry Buckle!!

I decide with my daughter-in-law to make the Hungarian Cranberries Walnut Tartlets for this week, I couldn't  make them two weeks ago.


I have been thinking of making them with cranberries for quite a long time , actually about 3 to 4 months ago , I was invited over my second son Santo and Kadya my daughter-in-law for mother’s Day and the weekend,  so we got together and made the Hungarian Cranberries Walnut Tartlets instead of Hungarian raisins and walnuts Tartlets.

We shared them because I thought that they were too much for me ,  my son's friend  Dwayne  that is stationed in the air force base with my son in Angus, Barrie ,Ontario Canada with his wife Kadya is also in the air force,  so we gave him some too , they all love them so they didn't go to waste but for me that's quite a bit. 

We actually made 24 with my daughter-in-law,  we were one short  one , My daughter-In-law Kadya that is in the air force too diced to order the baking bible, she really likes the cook book πŸ˜†

          Absolutely Delicious indeed.πŸ˜‰
Look at the inside of the  tartlet, yummy!!
A picture of my son Santo having a couple , he really likes them alot
" Smile Santo for my friends"
 Dwayne having hmmm,  3 to 4 tarts...
.
 Here is a picture of my second son Santo and he's buddy Dwayne washing the dishes, they are so sweet to do the clean-up...
 Cooling the Tartlets, the flavor was driving me and my Daughter-in-law crazy , Kadya couldn't wait to have one...
 We put in the oven to bake ..
 My Daughter-In-law "Kadya" added the rest of the butter mixture on top of the filling in each tart shells, I supervised..
 We both add the mixture for the filling in each pastry shells, we had a drink while doing thatπŸ˜‰
she add the butter mixture to the roasted walnuts and cranberries and mix it up. . P.S. she just loved helping me bake ..
She made the butter mixture. .
My lovely Daughter-In-law roasted the walnuts. "Smile Kadya for the alpha Baker's " 
 got all the ingredients ready for the filling. .
My Daughter-In-law mix all the ingredients for the pastry dough. I rolled the dough out to 1/8 and cut out the 4 1/2 inches circles , placed them in the muffin tins.
