Thanks for this text. I remembered how last year, after a retreat in the forest near Supraśl, someone left a bag with apples and honey in my car, and then I was able to give it to a neighbor who was sick. Sometimes it really comes back over and over again.

Yes, these apples with honey are a classic after the retreat in Supraśl. Last year, someone left a loaf of bread on my doorstep, and then I took it to Mrs. Zosia across the street, because I was baking too much. I wonder how many times this apple ran around Hajnówka.

Yes, these unexpected gifts are really circulating after the retreat in Supraśl. This year, someone left a jar of jam on my windowsill, and I immediately gave it to the rectory for a sick organist. I wonder who started this chain.

Yes, these apples with honey always come back to me after the retreat in Supraśl. Last year, someone left a loaf on my doorstep and I took it to Mrs. Zosia - I had just baked too many rhubarb buns. I wonder if your apple also ran around Hajnówka twice.

Mateusz Nowak
Yes, it really took off in Supraśl. I remember last year when someone left a loaf of bread on my porch and I took it to old Mrs. Zosia at the end of the street. I wonder if it's the same chain as yours?

Yes, in my garden these apples with honey always end up in Supraśl. This year, someone left a loaf on my doorstep and I took it to my neighbor's house because I had baked too many cherry pies. I wonder if your apple and this bread are circulating around Hajnówka.

This year, these honey apples from Supraśl were also in circulation, but the bread from Hajnówka has not returned yet. 😊 Tell me, what kind of cherry pie do you bake – with or without streusel? Because I always use crumbles so that it doesn't fall apart.

I always make cherry pie with streusel, because without it, the juice floods everything and looks like jelly. And these honey apples from Supraśl were exceptionally sweet this year, my children ate half a basket at once. Is there still bread from Hajnówka in your freezer?

Joanna Zielińska
In my place in Lublin, the apples from Supraśl are always on sale, but the bread from Hajnówka has not come back to me yet. Did you have this cherry pie with streusel? I bake without it because I like it when the juice spreads in the dough. I wonder if the apple and the loaf really go around Hajnówka in circles, as you write.

Yes, in my place in Hajnówka, these apples with honey from Supraśl always end up on the table. Last week I received one loaf from my downstairs neighbor and I immediately baked another one with cumin, because I like it to be more expressive. What do you put in your bread, Jacob?

Katarzyna Zielińska
I always add crumble to my cherries, because without it the juice really floods everything. And these apples from Supraśl were so aromatic this year that even when embroidering in the evening I could smell them from the kitchen. I'm out of Hajnówka bread, but next week I'll buy fresh bread again.

For me, the crumble also saves the cherries, otherwise it's a real flood. And these apples from Supraśl actually smelled like crazy, my daughter even asked what the whole apartment smelled so good. I'm also going to Hajnówka next week, so maybe we'll meet at the bread stand?

Michał Kaczmarek
For me, the streusel always saves the cherries, without it they actually flood. These apples from Supraśl smelled so good that even my husband asked what I had baked. I'll be in Hajnówka on Friday afternoon at the bread stand, so maybe we'll see each other?

Adam Nowak
Yes, crumble is salvation for cherries, otherwise everything floats. These apples from Supraśl actually had such a strong smell that you could immediately smell them throughout the house. In Hajnówka, I will try to go to the bread stand on Friday, I will be happy to talk.

Paweł Nowak
Yes, this crumble saves the cherries, otherwise it turns into soup. I remember these apples from Supraśl, the smell lingered in our kitchen for two days. Be sure to come over in Hajnówka, we'll be happy to talk over this bread, maybe I'll even take a piece of my bun with me.

Barbara Wiśniewska
These apples from Supraśl were really in a league of their own, the smell lasted in my kitchen for almost a week. I always add a thicker crumble, otherwise everything actually floats. In Hajnówka I will try to be at the bread stand, I will be happy to hear how your garden is going this year.
A
Aleksandra Kaczmarek
I remember these apples from Supraśl, in my garden they always smelled the same, until the kids asked what I was baking. The crumble really helps, without it the cherries will fall apart. I'd love to try your bun in Hajnówka, can you let me know when you'll be there?
A
Andrzej Wiśniewski
Yes, these apples from Supraśl were a hit, the smell lingered in my kitchen until the evening. I always make the crumble with butter and sugar so that it doesn't float. I'll be at the bread stand on Friday, we'll be happy to talk, maybe I'll bring you a piece of my apple pie from this year.
