Kathleen from Gonna Want Seconds said in this post that “Orange Blossom Water” is one of her favorite blogs. Kathleen, thank you so much for the kind words about the blog, you are such a sweetheart!

I love this bread, the dough is soft, tender and sweet, I filled the bread with strawberry jam (the original recipe used raspberry jam), I can’t wait to try different fillings, one of them will be date paste.

    I was spoiled as a child, and a young adult having these beautiful yeast dough pastries, made by my grandmother, mom, and aunt. I wish now, that I took more time to learn how to make these back then. I think you do such a superb job on your cookies, and pastries. and the illustrations are very precise, and helpful. This coffee ring is a perfect example of your meticulous work!

  8. This made with date filling subbed in for the fruit just might equal sweet bread perfection!! Must. Try. Soon.

    That bread is stunning. It just hit me that my mother had orange blossoms in the headband of her wedding veil. She so badly wanted that for me but they weren’t in season. Thanks for the reminder!

  11. Thanks for the walk through. It’s beautiful and probably going to make it on my table soon! I’m saving this recipe and becoming the newest follower of your blog. Thanks again!
