My husband recently gave me Ina Garten’s new cookbook Make It Ahead: A Barefoot Contessa Cookbook
It was really yummy! The bread had a crusty top, soft middle and a sweetness of berries that blended perfectly with the maple syrup. This is going to be a dish I bring out for my family and guests when I want something tasty to feed a group with little fuss.
