Strawberry Malted Chocolate Lump Yogurt Loaf

Yes, and I do mean Lump in this Strawberry Malted Chocolate Lump Cake Loaf, not always chunk if you want a smooth, melted chocolate bite!

Anyhoo…

Remember when I announced that there was a new bread baking challenge in town called The Bread Baking Society and I participated in the focaccia theme last May? Well that new bread baking challenge is now a NEWER bread baking challenge.  Lora, of Cake Duchess, the brainchild behind The Bread Baking Society, has decided to give The Bread Baking Society a small makeover and has invited me, her Mom, Elizabeth, of food and thrift,  Barbara of Creative Culinary, and Jamie of Life’s a Feast, along for the ride.  Say hi to Twelve Loaves, and below is what it’s all about and the rules – beautifully written by Jamie and beautifully copied and pasted by me!

Pulled Chinese Sesame Seed Chicken Sliders with Pepper Slaw

Today we’re going to transform a popular Chinese take-out dish, Sesame Seed Chicken, into a pulled meat slider. I know it sounds weird, but bear with me.

We’re all familiar with loads of twists on pulled meats, like pork, beef, chicken; pulled any meat that can be shredded into juicy strands after being simmered in a sauce for a few hours, then slopped on a bun which soaks up some of that sauce.
