This was a recipe I saw on the Food Network. We threw a girls' night/paklava tutorial recently, so I wanted to try it for that occasion, but changed it up a little bit. For one thing, I happened to see English Muffin Bread at the supermarket. I never knew there was such a thing, so I wanted to use that. It turned out to be the perfect texture. I also substituted arugula for the watercress, wanting that peppery bite, and substituted rice vinegar for the onions for a lighter taste. They were scarfed down very quickly!
