It was, however, a perfect day for bread baking.......
No, I'm not mooning you *grin*. Two batches of bread dough have been mixed up in the food processor, and are rising.
Fresh out of the oven, the cinnamon rolls have been drizzled with a vanilla glaze.
Eight big hot dog buns, four hamburger buns and four giant cinnamon rolls are cooling.Believe me, there's nothing better than home made hot dog and hamburger buns. Two of these burger buns were eaten tonight, with grilled ground sirloin, fresh picked lettuce and home made pickle relish. The recipe for the buns can be found on my blog, November 29, 2008: Just Biding My Time.
mmmmmmm. Your bread always comes our beautifully.
ReplyDeleteOh Granny - you "crack" me up! As soon as I saw the thumbnail picture, I was certain you were going to blog about full moon gardening. But you know what? I'll take your bread posts any day! This may be a dumb question - but how do you get your buns so perfect (I'm talking about BREAD here)? Do you have a special pan for the hot dog buns? I haven't used my food processor for dough yet, but my husband surprised me with a bread machine for Christmas. The hole in the middle of a baked loaf is annoying, but it definitely makes making dough a cinch.. Now all of our bread is homemade - but we haven't had hamburgers or hot dogs in a long time because I wasn't sure how to make them!
ReplyDeleteI had to laugh when I saw the the moon like dough. The breads look so professional and yummy, I would love to have a hot cinnamon bun with tea now, it's cold and windy outside.
ReplyDeleteIt all looks excellent! I bet your place smells great. I'll have to try the hot dog buns, never tried them before. I have a sourdough starter that has been languishing on the counter for 3 days to long... I need to get baking.
ReplyDeleteOh neat! I've never seen homemade hot dog buns before. I'll have to try this recipe!
ReplyDeleteNice buns, Granny! LOL Oh man oh man oh man.... those look scrumptious! I have wheat bread rising in my machine as I type. I just finished dinner, but the smell of the dough combined with your lovely pics are making my tummy grumble!
ReplyDeleteGranny, that dough in the first picture looks like a butt that needs a tanning bed. Ha! The bread you made from the dough looks perfect, though!
ReplyDeleteAG....how did you know that we are also eating grilled sirloin burgers for dinner? I will be by for some of those homemade hamburger buns...lol...they look very yummy
ReplyDeletenice buns! =)
ReplyDeleteWorked quite late tonight, had a very late, rushed and not very good dinner as a result... then I log on to go blog surfing and relax... and what do I find?! AG is tempting me with fresh baked cinnamon rolls! You do know those are my favorite "not good for you" food items don't you?
ReplyDelete(sigh) wish my monitor had smellovision installed. ;D
I want to know how you don't both weigh a thousand pounds. You're always making tasty treats! I plan to bake tomorrow (and run, and grade, and plant. . .)
ReplyDeleteThanks to everyone for all the comments! I hope my follow up blog answers your questions about forming the buns.

Sunny, great minds and all that! Chicken on the barbecue tomorrow night?

Stefaneener, I'll be starting my spring diet next month.

EG, what would the neighbors think if I went outside and suntanned my buns?
********
Hmmmm, I wonder if I could invent bun-smell-o-vision?
********
Good night, all ;-)
I can smell that from here!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so great!
ReplyDeleteErin, I'm waving my arms around the kitchen and shooing those aromas over to your side of the states!

Thank you, Jennifer.
Oh Granny! Such cute buns :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while since I have made bread. I need to make my own rolls more often too. Thanks for the inspiration!
Rachel, this is getting funny...I've never been known for my cute buns. My cute boobs, on the other hand....;-)
ReplyDeleteWow, it's getting too hot in this kitchen for me. ;-)Very inspiring post. I love my bread machine, but I tend to set it on the dough cycle, then bake the bread in a freeform rustic loaf. Eliminates that weird shape with the hole in the bottom. There I go with bottoms again.
ReplyDeleteLMGWorld, I'm the same. Even when I do use a bread machine, I never bake in it. I don't like the hole in the bottom, and the crust just never turns out the way I like it....it's more hard than crisp.
