. Piquenchagne (interesting name!) looked like an ideal bread for autumn, being flavored with fresh pears. For a small loaf I peeled, cored, and pureed a ripe Bartlett pear; then stirred in acacia honey, an egg, salt, and yeast. The dough, made with all-purpose flour, received two ...
But be aware that despite the name – Melia Durres – the hotel is 37.2km from Durres, which involves a good 45 minutes’ drive. Add to this that the “helpful” front Desk who will offer you a taxi (a company which I expect has a contract with the hotel) for a “bargain” price...
