I needed to make up a super fast strawberry reduction sauce to put over a little personal sized strawberry short cake. Today is my husband's birthday and I wanted to surprise him with one of his favorite treats before he left for work. This recipe is so simple and straightforward with tasty results. The syrup thickened nicely and tasted great. I used the leftover reduction to put over my son's waffles and he liked it, too.

SO EASY! This is a delicious, light bread that rises quickly. Each step says you should wait about an hour in the video, however, I found that each step really only took 30-35 minutes. I think what makes this bread so great is the sponge rising technique. I yielded three high loaves of bread with this recipe. This is quite an easy recipe, especially if you have a mixer. I sent off one fresh loaf of this bread to a relative today! This is a bread recipe I am keeping and will be sharing with others :-) Note: You can also use all-purpose flour and the bread will still taste totally fine.

This is one of the simplest bread recipes I have ever used, but produces a great, sweet-tasting bread.

Delicious! I left out the red pepper flakes, only because I don't like them, but made everything else as written. This is creamy, rich, and it tastes amazing on little diced pieces of sourdough bread for serving. I had this out as an appetizer for Christmas and we ate half the pan!
