Instructions: Start the yeast culture off by mixing the honey, water and yeast. Meanwhile put the chestnuts into a pan add the spirits

(liquor I think you say in the US of A) and cover with a little water. Bring this to the boil and simmer with a lid on
until the chestnuts are soft (Too much
boiling turns everything to a mush).

Mix the flour, salt and honey into the
bowl with a dash of olive oil. When the
chestnuts are soft drain the liquid into the flour mixture and mix quickly (or if you are patient you could wait for it to cool- I find it doesnt really matter).

Chop up the chestnuts into little bits and add to the flour. Mix it all up, add the yeast and begin the knead. Keep going all the way and let the dough rest 2 or
three times. Knock down at least twice and then split into your favorite tins (I use 3 small 5x2x3 tins). Place in the
oven at 400 + and cook until golden
brown. Turn out onto the wire rack and if you can wait that long ;) let the bread
cool. I cant really tell you what to do here as ours never lasts that long!

NOTES : My friend Sally sent this to me. She stated in her note to me: I saw this today and it made me laugh, so had to send it to you. Mostly because of the name.

Name is cute ... especially since my daughter has a pug...
