was this ice princess really like a norwegian film tries to uncover the truth behind the legend. joe sort of created this whole sort of ice capades ice skating extravaganza the coal industry was always in the coal business and was able to become a now a huge sort of a hollywood star but also incredibly powerful businesswoman. before heading to hollywood sonja hanny won a gold medal at the nine hundred fifty six winter olympic games in germany where she met adult hitler it's rumored that the two had an affair the film only hints at this. was in the morning was. called goebbels insisted the propaganda which includes movie distribution i had dinner with him once. it is yes

a teacher's place. i get to germany you double my seat. that any right of hollywood was unconcerned by her connections to nazi germany she made her u.s. movie debut in one thousand nine hundred thirty six in them. the one in a million which became a box office heat. money glamour excess this new film depicts haney's meteoric rise and fall mocked by greed loneliness and alcohol abuse it also illustrates the deep sexism and double standards practiced by hollywood really struggled within the hollywood system to express herself and to show that she was more than just that a pretty woman who could really skate when she went to hollywood she was really suffered under the sort of hollywood studio system and the way it treated with many collapsed under the weight to be expectations placed on her as a female hollywood star she had it all and then lost it deeply disillusioned sonja

henny left hollywood in one thousand nine hundred fifty six today she's largely forgotten now a film from her home country of norway pays tribute to this one time nature and. today we start a series called baking bread featuring bread making in all of the e.u. countries who is capable of this mammoth task i hear you cry well it's a man with hidden talents our europe correspondent. as you most probably know him from the news reporting on serious political matters however apart from his fine journalism he's also an expert a baking bread and bread is a huge part of our culture and he's with me now your welcome great to see you in your france lightly disappointed that you haven't brought anything with you but never mind. tell me twenty countries walking t.v.

is a crazy idea to do this. well i thank you from my grandmother she lifted the age of ninety nine and brad was very important to her so she introduced me to baking and cooking and so i feel never since i've. in baking and i've been baking also in our brussels studio brought a couple of loaves for the colleagues in particular my colleague max hoffman our head of studio and so at one point in a pub in strasbourg we had this idea and we said we have to make something off the baking skill something more and that's when we decided to make a series where we combined politics and bread making and idea from max hoffman has a dangerous thing anyway what's so important a minute but now let's have a look at our first episode and today it's the turn of luxembourg. today i'll be baking kim a school and a raisin bread from luxembourg. this founding member is by far the wealthiest country in the club so get ready for the

richest loaf in our series. makes plain flour lukewarm milk a tablespoon of sugar. and twenty grams of yeast in a bowl. after fifteen minutes at two x. and some more sugar but good amount of potter and a pinch of salt makes everything well together now we need to talk about needing technique there are different techniques you can use but luxembourg's former prime minister and head of the european commission song has mass the film in particular grew up turn. push and let's go let's go through that again grab turn. push and let's go. grab

her. push. let's go. let's go along. go. like younger you need to move fast and with confidence to build up a strong gluten network. a good way of checking the dos progress is the so-called window pane test stretch out a bit of dough until you're left with a thin membrane if it looks so pate like luxemburg secret text structures you have to keep needing what we want is transparency. so keep going until you have something like this. at a handful of raisins place the dough in a greased branch tin and cover it with

a towel until it doubles in size luxemburg maybe small foot per head luxemburg or spain more than double what your average german does into e.u. coffers about two euros a day roughly the cost of a loaf of bread in luxembourg. place the dough with accu and stick it in the office at one hundred ninety degrees celsius set your time off for twenty five minutes until you hear the bell. and if it is you know it was machine. luxembourg's raisin bread delicious rich in flavor easy to bake if you have a firm grip like your girl it's

a piece of cake. i do love the way you mix politics but with bread making grav or does it grab push you think you would make a good baker i think baking is no rocket science robin and so everyone would make a good baker but it can be hard work and i've joined younger on many business trips and filming him and he says he's a hardworking man so i think he could do it now as we all know things don't always go as planned in the kitchen. no they don't but look the key thing here is cooking is not baking and so in baking accuracy is really key for for a good loaf in cooking you read you like acidity and you had a bit of. cream and that will that will do the trick but baking is a bit more tricky ok i sold out in the report you with us with a very specific about timing you know now twenty eight countries soon to

be twenty seven don't want to mention the baby was because i'm embarrassed but will you be buffering to buy british bread well as long as the u.k. is part of the e.u. i'll bake a british loaf now of course at some point soon or later to raise them able be toast so she asked to be in that series and we'll see him for the u.k. it's really important to think about time because time really is the magic ingredient in baking if you get fewer know for a lot of time it has time to foment and that is where the flavor comes from really because i've never been a great british bread just one of the reasons i moved to germany anyway yoke thank you come back and says again next time bring some bread with you please thank you very much and a new episode of breaking bread will appear every week on the show now the fans are sharing app instagram has given a platform to
