| Fresh Bread Rolls |
Bread was always a bit of a conundrum for me. I wanted each attempt to turn out perfectly, leading to three semi-failures. Weapons of mini destruction : check. Bread? Fail.
The experience of achieving perfect bread, the glee on your face the moment you see them fresh out of the oven, the exhilaration upon sinking your teeth into warm little buns : priceless.
This was my first attempt at bread in College. In fact it's the very first recipe they taught us! That joy has been since replicated twice in my own kitchen :)

| Chutney Rolls |
Chutney rolls are something we see quite often, and assume them to be complicated to make or not fancy enough. Well the chutney is a bit bland for the bread around it but I've tried a variation of Spicy Onions and it was the best snack ever! A friend and me polished off a whole batch in one sitting. There are a couple of other fillings on my list too like Herbed Chicken, Olive&Onion and Spicy Chicken. They are perfect for a party filler snack.
When we made wholewheat bread we were given the option of using a loaf tin or just allowing the loaf to rise on a tray. Obviously I picked the tray and what a lovely rustic loaf it gave me. Just a tip for the health conscious : always ask for multigrain bread or wholewheat bread. Quite often brown bread is just white bread with a little caramel in it. Wholewheat flour is a little harder to handle and doesn't always give you a consistent product like gluten-filled refined white flour would. So eat smart :)
