Delia Kennedy top winner in ‘Beat-the-clock Breads Contest’

Delia Kennedy’s Marmalade Money Bread is the top winner in the “Beat-the-Clock-Breads Contest” in the March/April edition of “Quick Cooking.”

Kennedy, of Deer Park, says any jam can be substituted for the marmalade if you don’t have it on hand.

“People are always surprised to hear that the loaf starts with tubes of buttermilk biscuits,” Kennedy told “Quick Cooking.” She makes the pull-apart bread about once a month.

Here’s her recipe:
