❤ thank you.

[@yinsaikong951]

Thanks for sharing! Just want to check the quantity of instant yeast please. Is the amount of required 0.25 ounces ie 7 grams? Thanks

[@mynosycats]

Thank you! ❤️

[@11hyunkwon]

Thank you I am always looking for comments that summarise s ingredients

[@bleumarin1968]

i do them as a savory dish for the aperitif, with either green or red pesto and shredded cheese, or cream cheese and smoked salmon, it is delish and always gets great praise from guests

[@sharonpults1177]

Wow that is really a good idea!! Do you still put the butter on each disc of dough before adding pesto and cheese? Do you put anything on the top after baked in place of the powdered sugar or in my case a glaze?

[@bleumarin1968]

@@sharonpults1177 i don't put any butter on the dough, i put first the shredded cheese (very important, otherwise the pesto turns a bit liquidy and on the dough it is not great) and then the pesto. I don't put anything on the top after the baking is done, but i reckon you could sprinkle some herbs for decoration

[@figmo397]

I've also seen it done with savory fillings such as garlic and parmesan and served with a marinara dipping sauce. In any case, YUM!!!

[@michellew.6597]

My daughter made this bread after dinner. It is beyond amazing .

I just made this delicious bread I am amazed how beautiful and easy this recipe is. We are decorating and putting up our tree and couldn't of asked for a better more perfect treat. The house smells delightful and the bread is the star of the show. Thank you!

[@mimiisonline]

I filled mine with a blueberry jam and the cream cheese filling from the cheese danish recipe 10/10

[@DontCallMeAlice1]

I've been doing this bread for a number of years now for Christmas (thanks to King Arthur's online recipes). As a very amateur baker I am not very good in judging if the dough has the correct consistency so it is nice to see a video to improve the steps when I bake it this year. Thank you very much.😁

[@DiaDia18]

Very nice recipie John! They looks amazing! I always wont to know how i make these recipie! Thanks for show us! Have a nice day and good weekend! Have a good week! 👍👏🍴

[@mssavedin92]

Im doing this tomorrow! Thank-you John, it looks awesome andwhat a great gift it would make for neighbours.

[@NTXCeltic2010]

Great tutorial and remarkably easy instructions to follow. Almost fool proof. I made this with my 13 year old son. It came out better than I expected…and almost identical to the one in the Preppy Kitchen. Thank you for making baking accessible and easy to understand.

[@annengvall9003]

Made this yesterday, and it turned out beautifully! I’m a very beginner baker, and I was shocked how nicely it turned out. I just finished warning up a piece to have with my morning coffee. Sooo good!

[@LondonLife2008]

The dough and cinnamon filling are identical to Swedish cinnamon buns, which is a masterpiece in itself. More filling keeps it moist and does not let it dry out the next day.

[@itsitadori_official5168]

I’m a retired elementary teacher, and I didn’t start teaching until I was 47. I student taught in a third grade class. I taught the unit on fractions and took a pan of brownies in and tasked the class with dividing it so everyone in the class got a “ fair share”. There were an odd number of students in the class, so they really had to brainstorm how to make it work. They decided to cut it into more pieces than the number of students and take what was left to the secretary, principal, and janitor. It was a very small school, and it was amazing! I was always very hands on and practical in application. I taught fifth grade and there were only two classrooms. I taught all of the science and always showed them how to apply it to cooking. One of my former students is now a chef!! Now that I’m retired and have a huge new kitchen, I’m cooking and baking a lot! I used to decorate cakes, but I’m not now. Too busy playing pickleball, crafting, sewing, and playing in my kitchen!

[@VeronicasVeil333]

I made this last night for the first time. It was awesome!

[@justsomememingbigyoshiwith4832]

I made this and added in thin apple slices ontop of the cinnamon sugar, absolutely incredible

[@helenaw9533]

My niece is home from college this week and we were talking about loving lemon anything. She immediately pulled up your lemon crinkle cookies. This star bread looks wonderful and you made it so easy to understand how to achieve the look. Too many goodies already made for Thanksgiving but this would make a wonderful addition at Easter. Hoping you and your lovely family had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

[@melissagagnon1213]

I'm imagining this with a garlic butter and cheese filling. It would be perfect with a nice pasta : 3

[@sinisterhealzz67]

Made this but with chai spice as the filling. I used 1/4 teaspoon of cardamom, all spice, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger blended together. Then added that spice blend to 5 tablespoons of sugar. Turned out AMAZING!

I cannot WAIT to make this. I love making bread, and I plan on adapting my Swedish grandmother's cardamom bread to your recipe. It's beautiful! I love your videos. (In the beginning, you instructed your viewers to get their stand mixers and use the paddle attachment. I believe you meant the dough hook.)

I just baked the most delicious dough with this recipe last night - thank you for posting the recipe. I made a savory pizza bread with roasted garlic butter, cheese, and pepperoni. The filling was too much to make the star shape, so I just made a simple stuffed braid - it was the most delicious bread I’ve ever made. Thank you and Merry Christmas!

For some reason, I always thought that yeast needed to feed on sugar to come to life. I guess you really do learn something new every day! This looks so amazing that I am going to have to give it a try. Thanks for another awesome recipe! Happy Thanksgiving John, and also to anyone else who might read this comment!

Sugar just speeds up the process. It's one of the main reasons why sandwich bread loaves in grocery stores have it in the US.

@@XBluDiamondXYeah, I watched the video, ty

plus there is sugar in milk (lactose) for the yeast to "eat" :)

I did a test-run of this recipe tonight, to see if I could master it in time for our family coming over for Christmas, and it was amazing! P.S. I know you spell it "Kanell" , but your last name sounds like "cannelle" , which is what we call "cinnamon" in French. Every time you make a cinnamon-based recipe (like this one), I think about it. xD
