Golden Gate Snack Bread won the 17th Pillsbury Bake-Off in 1966. Recipe on Pillsbury.com by Mari Petrelli of Ely, Nevada. There was no contest in 1965 because the contest was moved from October to February. Mari Petrelli was actually at the 46th Bake-Off last year. Isn't that neat!
I didn't get to meet Mrs Petrelli but here's a photo from last year's contest. How wonderful that she was able to attend the 46th Pillsbury Bake-Off - 47 years after she won the grand prize for her Golden Gate Snack Bread. Thank you to Debbie Vanni for taking this great photo and letting me post it here. Click here to see her blog post about the 46th Bake-Off.
And here she is at the 17th Pillsbury Bake-Off. Look at that beautiful platter. Isn't that fancy! Also note her nametag which reads Mrs. John Petrelli. I believe that all of the contestants at that time went by their married name. I wish I had gotten a chance to meet her.
