Zsemle (dinner buns), kifli (croissant shaped dinner buns), braided banana bread
I am not too satisfied with the result. The texture for the zsemle and kifli are just too different from what one would find at Hungarian bakeries. It was translated from a Hungarian recipe, but the problem is, the flour in Hungary is not too similar with the flour available in Canada, and most of the times, store bought, bakery bought, and homamade are often different, so…
