Breads

So in my last post I described how it is easy to make the bread dough and the fun part comes when we shape the breads. When you go out to eat, most places often serve dinner rolls which are just plain round balls of bread. Now they taste delicious so most people don't really care what they look like but we learned a really easy way to make these plain rolls look more decorative. You start off with the same amount of dough as you would a plain roll and roll it out to a log. You then take the two ends and tie a knot. Once you have done this, you should have two ends hanging out. You simply tuck one end around the outside and then the other on the opposite side. And you will get the little ends sticking out of the top, which you can see in the picture on the bottom right. The picture on the left is an example of a simple dinner roll that has seeds on top. And the one on the left is our knotted rolls. There is nothing wrong with a plain roll because they taste the same, this just gives it a nice appearance.
