Artisan Bread? Yes, but Artisan Rolls too!



Keeping up with the rest of the baking world, I had to try Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day. I made several loaves of bread and then added rolls to the repertoire. I used the KAF hamburger bun pan, which worked great to keep these puppies round.

Miniatures: just the right bite


I've been intrigued by miniature food lately, Thanks to Francois Payard and others who have published some wonderful recipes in books like Bite Size. To the right is the Lamb burger on a Cumin roll with Harissa-yogurt sauce. The salt crystals and black sesame seeds were my addition, since the poor rolls looked so naked. At less than 1 ½" in diameter this little beauties packed a large flavor punch. I have a few left and stored them in the freezer. Soon they'll get their taste test for freezeability.
