Rosemary & Cinnamon

I used the last of my adapted Peasant Loaf recipe from Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day. I made some fresh rosemary & oil breadsticks. I was hoping the rosemary would stick to the olive oil that I brushed on, but only the sea salt remained. They still recieved the highest praise from my daughter Claire who hums like a bumblebee whenever she eats something she loves :o)





It didn't go as far as the Boule recipe due to the dough not rising as much but it was yummy and where else in the world can you find whole grain Cinnamon Swirls?! ...that makes up for all the icing, doesn't it???





Would you like to join me for tea, cinnamon swirls & sewing!

Enjoy your afternoon tea & quilted crafts :o)

  6. You can find the basic bread recipe from "Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day", online here. I have heard that the sweeter Challah dough is even better for cinamon buns but I haven't tried it yet.

    1. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle.
    2. Spread on butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg & mace.
    3. Roll into a long log and cut into slices. Place in pan with space between and let rise for about an hour.
    4. Bake for about 35 minutes at 350F.

    Icing:
    1/2 cup (4oz) cream cheese
    1/4 cup butter
    1/2 tsp vanilla
    1 cup icing sugar
