Presenting my #KitchenGladiators submission for the month of "laminated": cardamom brioche buns! These were a lot of fun, challenging because never done laminated but King Arthur's recipe made it easy to follow! Would definitely make these again!

Baked pumpkin biscotti last night with an adjustment to fit #KitchenGladiators for this month: sweetening half with maple syrup! Cooked down pumpkin to cook off excess moisture to be replaced by syrup. Delightful! ^^

Ok I might muse on this on stream tonight if I stream but I'm considering the following for this month's #KitchenGladiators challenge of a "bento or boxed lunch":

- quesobirria hand pies
- schnitzel of some selection (German heritage)
- hand pies of some kind of Kentucky meal (hot brown came to mind but it's a snore)
- something from other heritage? (I'd have to see if I still have my notes from 20+ years ago high school biology class)

Finished bake from last night -- Earl Grey pastry cream-filled eclairs with a vanilla bean white chocolate ganache frosting ^^ my #KitchenGladiators entry for May!

Had a FANTASTIC time baking tonight for the #KitchenGladiators challenge! The result - bread pudding made with Irish brown bread, and a Guinness chocolate sauce - is wonderful! Complex, rich, just the right sweetness!

Please make this bread, it's absolutely fantastic. I used golden wheat / white whole wheat flour instead of Irish-style flour, with some all-purpose flour mixed in to help lighten it. Easy, no ferment. Good!
