Bread Rolls

[Olan Giech]

I've never cooked bread before and this recipe came from a Lebanese cooking programe I re-formatted, it was all in Arabic though thankfully the Arabic for "baking soda" is baking soda otherwise I would never have figured out what that white powder was. However, this morning's bread rolls were made without baking soda. Here is the recipe:

2eggs beaten in a mixing bowl
1 desert spoon of ground pistaccio nuts
cake yeast
200gm plain flour
pinch of salt
20gm crushed walnuts (sitting down sharply whilst not wearing underpants will crush your walnuts)

All of the above is slowly mixed together to avoid creating lumpy dough. Then palm sized balls of dough are rolled into a sausage shape, curled round and pressed into the crushed walnuts on each side. Gas oven was pre-heated on full whilst I ironed a shirt, then the rolls were in the oven whilst I had me shower.

I'll be serving them this afty at work, hence ironing a shirt, with a fine red wine - Morellino di Scansano. Enjoy.

I expect they were great.
Bread is easy to make, all it is is flour and water with yeast in it to make the bubbles.
However, the best breads have all sorts of other things in them, my regular has sunflower, linseed and millet, I also use hemp, pumpkin, poppy seed, haszel nuts, (cashews don't work for some reason).
Usually 100 gm each of 3 extras in a 3 lb mix, I'll post the recipe when I can extract it from Publisher.
