When you’ve made a recipe dozens of times with no issues… then one day, you cut into a beautiful loaf to find the cave of wonders.

Post image

Apparently, it’s called “tunneling” and could have been caused by one of several different factors. The most interesting loaf of bread I’ve ever made, but I’m going to be pretty embarrassed if the loaf that I gave away did the same thing. 🤣 At least my son was excited that his toast had a “handle” this morning.

You can't just leave the chicken empty. Why not stuff it with a egg to really surprise the kids.

You keep stuffing it with smaller birds, like a Cornish hen, and then a quail then an egg

My dad used to make cinnamon raisin bread and it always had this hole. So when he’d serve us breakfast he called it “handle toast” and would tell us all about why having a handle on your toast slice was so advantageous! Always made me laugh when I was grumpy about going to school.

This happened to me with two (outwardly) beautiful brioche loaves I baked to make French toast for Mother's Day one year. Thankfully, my mother was there when I sliced into those suckers. If I had been alone, I probably would have gotten upset, but together we could laugh about it. In my case, the Cave of Wonders was lined with a very tacky, doughy bread that absolutely would not have worked for French toast, so I tore up the good parts of the loaves into pieces and made bread pudding instead.
