RECIPE OF THE MONTH
Cranberry-Pecan Wreath
December has been designated National Stress-Free Family Holidays Month. One 
way to minimize the stress of the season is to plan an old-fashioned holiday, 
free of commercialization and the noise of crowded department stores. Bake 
your gifts instead. Put on some holiday music and turn the baking activity 
into a family get-together. If you'd like free gift stickers to go along with 
your baked gifts, they're available from breadworld.com. Go to the Bread as 
Gifts section and click on Wrapping Ideas  
www.breadworld.com/breadgifts/wrapping.asp

You might also want to invite your friends over one weekend for a pre-holiday 
bake-in. Few things bring family and friends together in a more caring, 
care-free way than the wonderful aroma of home-baked bread. Best of all, this 
recipe has been kitchen-tested by Fleischmann's Yeast home economists.

FYI:
Here are the survey results of November's Knead to Know Question of the 
Month. The question, referring to baking from scratch, using yeast, was:

How often does the average Bread Brigade America member bake?

Almost 71% of respondents bake at least once a month.
Of this group, 86% actually bake several times a month.

Of those respondents who bake less than once a month, some bake only for 
special occasions and the others only during the holidays.

QUESTION OF THE MONTH
Are Bread Brigade America members baking more this year (2000) than last 
(1999)? Once again, we have to depend on you in order to arrive at an answer 
to the question, which we'll publish in an upcoming issue of this newsletter.

As we noted in the last Knead to Know newsletter, the purpose of our Question 
of the Month is to gather general information which will help us learn how we 
can better meet the needs of Bread Brigade America members. There is no focus 
on the baking habits of any one individual, nor does your answer represent a 
commitment from you in any way regarding baking.

Please help us by answering the question below.

How would you compare the frequency of your baking from scratch using yeast 
this year (2000) compared to the prior year (1999)?

WEEKENDS ARE SPECIAL
Here Comes The December Weekend Calendar
The holidays are upon us! And with them, the stresses of holiday shopping are 
piling onto the normal pressures of the work week and the school week. 
Fleischmann's Yeast has a suggestion for coping: Use the weekends to share 
the holiday spirit without the holiday stress.

With our featured holiday weekend recipes, you can bake great holiday gifts 
instead of buying them. You can also turn weekends into pre-holiday and 
holiday celebrations with family and friends.

FIRST WEEKEND:
Freezer Rolls

We already told you about how baking the Fleischmann's Yeast kitchen-tested 
Cranberry-Pecan Wreath is perfect for holiday gift-giving. Now here's the 
first of several more delicious suggestions from Fleischmann's Yeast for 
gift-giving and for making other weekends in December just as special as 
pre-holiday get-togethers with family and friends.

Next to their great taste, the best thing about Freezer Rolls is their 
convenience. After you've prepared the dough, you can form it into crescents, 
coils or twists. Then you can freeze them for up to one week before baking, 
or you can bake them without freezing them at all. The choice is yours. 
Either way, the result is about two dozen delicious rolls. They're 
irresistible!

THIRD WEEKEND:
Teddy Bears (from Just for Kids Section)

One precious gift you can give a child this holiday season is the gift of 
creativity. Help your young baker put his or her talents to work creating 
these two lovable Teddy Bears. It's a project that's sure to excite the 
imagination and to tap into a child's natural desire to share the gift of his 
or her creativity. What better way to share the holiday spirit !

bread twists. Serve them up to the family when everyone gets together to 
decorate the house for the holidays. It's a State Fair-winner that's easy to

NEW YORK STATE FAIR
Syracuse, NY
Congratulations to the Winners!
Ellen Tracy and her 13-year old goddaughter, Hannah Young, won first prize 
among the 10 entrants in this year's contest with a chocolate bread braid 
they made to celebrate Hannah's donating her hair to a program that makes 
wigs for cancer patients. Fittingly, their recipe, which symbolized the 
donated hair, was called "Locks of Love". Hannah, who had never cut her hair 
before, donated 12 inches of her locks to the program. Mary Ellen Botsford 
and Katy Botsford took second place and Christine Prowak came in third.
