Carole Walter Great Coffee Cakes...anyone tried?

[janeer]

Has anyone used Walter's latest baking book and do you have an opinion on whether it is worth adding to an already extensive baking collection? Particularly interested in the yeasted bread sections--danish, etc. Thanks.

I've been baking from this book for a couple of weeks now. Have made several of the yeasted breads, using the Rich Sour Cream Sweet Dough, made cinnamon rolls, rustic horns ( not sure about the name), kuchens, and crumb buns. I like this book, even though I too have many baking books. Have not done Danish or croissants yet, but I will soon.

thank you; any book that has a crumb bun recipe and sour cream yeast dough sounds good to me.

Cinnamon rolls made with the simple sweet dough.

So far I like the book. These were delicious.

My auntie made the sticky buns with the simple sweet dough for dessert yesterday, and she also made some sort of coffee ring using the same dough and her own chocolate filling. They were heavenly! She gave me a few of the recipes from the book, I can't wait to try them out!
