The Bewitching Spiral Apple Bread

Baking bread is always a delightful experience , I still recollect my first attempt when I would faithfully watch the yeast proof,lift the towel on the dough bowl to see if it is ready to punch down and the joyfull aroma of bread fill the kitchen while baking.My heart would pound with excitement when I pull the bread out from the oven.I relive these lovely moments whenever I bake any type of bread be it a simple loaf, or stuffed bun or a braided bread.

When I saw this bread on treatandtrick I bookmarked it immediately and tried as soon as I got a chance.I am so glad it turned out so good.This spiral apple bread is crusty on the outside and flaky on the inside with a divinely soft flavor of apple.
