Red Wine Longan Bread

How many of you have heard of this Masters De La Boulangerie Competition? The other day, I asked Angie regarding this and without a minute.... she found all the infor for me! Thank you very much, Angie! We were both so excited. I made a loaf with red wine longan but I've omitted the walnut. Well, maybe the bread doesn't look exactly the same but I'm expecting a soft bread loaf instead of 100% artisan bread loaf. I have my recipe as follow.

I have never tried making bread with wine before and was very excited to check out the loaf once it's ready! Ooo... yes, it smell like a wine loaf..... you can definitely recognize that aroma! And the longan became a little mild and not too sweet nor too strong in flavour. I've tried to spread on some jam and it tastes fabulous. I think Angie will definitely come up with something amazing soon. Happy Baking to all!
