I started this recipe as soon as I got up this morning, maybe in hindsight I should have woken up properly first. I made 2 batches of this dough - if only I had read the recipe carefully. I thought it was unusual to be using cold water and milk to mix with the yeast, butter, sugar and flour. I didn't see the step before adding the flour & kneading commenced - I was supposed to mix the first lot (without the flour and salt) together for 3 minutes on 37o then add the flour but mine was already in there and I just kneaded it for the 2 minutes stated. I had also put the salt in before the flour and was worried it would interact with the yeast and not allow it to rise properly.
Anyway, I pressed on and eventually my dough rose in about 1.5 hours (thank goodness it was a warm day here) and the first batch of rolls made it to the oven. They looked good but were a little heavy. That may be because of my mistake though.
With the second batch of dough, believe it or not I did the same thing again apart from not allowing the salt to touch the yeast. I decided to make scrolls as I had heaps of the savoury topping left over. I also gave the scrolls a 10 minute second rise. This seemed to make all the difference and these were my preferred batch.
This recipe is by Helene of Superkitchenmachine fame, sorry Helene - I sure got myself in a pickle with this one and I'm sure others will have more success than I did.

It all turned out well in the end Judy. :D
-
Eventually Cookie but I cannot believe what a klutz I was ;D
-
They look good Judy 8) With doing a double batch are you going to feed friends and neighbours :D :D
-
Judy, look pretty good to me.
-
No, they're all in the freezer now CC - I'll get through them. Because they are flavourful with the savoury filling, I had a couple for tea with just butter and they were nice.
-
They look good JD, the kids would like them :)
-
They look great Judy. What is the savoury filling?
-
Onion is cooked in the TM bowl then parmesan is added when it cools down Wonder. Top gets sprinkled with poppy seeds although I used sesame seeds.
-
This recipe alone may be enough to make me buy the book. I will wait and see if I win it first.
-
Yum, making me hungry JD.

Seriously yummy bagel-like buns. Thermomix consultants in the south of Tasmania got to sample these the other day at a meeting. Fiona Hoskin demonstrated them for us:
-
They look delicious Cecilia.
-
Jo nz came up with a great idea for stale rolls or buns - slice thinly and dry out in a 120-130oC oven for tasty bread crisps to just nibble on or to serve with dips. I used the remaining 4 Bialys to make these tasty little morsels.
-
Judy I can imagine that they would have a lovely flavour. I loved Jo's idea. Much nicer than plain bread.
-
It's hard to stop eating them Cookie, they are so delicious. Jo is a genius, something so simple and I never thought to do it :-)) ;D
-
Like those little sliced baguettes you buy in a box - great idea!
-
Judy didn't I post my recipe on these from the Secrets of a Jewish Baker book last year.? I can't find it . Of course Helene's are far more professional than mine but I think the recipe was similiar if anyone hasn't this book and of course I did in fact post it. ;D ;D ;D

Here you are Gert. ;D
Bialys or baked bagels with onion and poppy seeds (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=11825.0)
-
That was quick CC. The search I did did not turn them up. Probably should not have looked as Helene's are far better .
Gert

The recipe in ITM2 has nowhere near the amount of yeast as your recipe Gert but it certainly is based on the recipe you posted and which Helene then ran with. It was nice to see one of her recipes in the book.
-
Yes that's what dani Valent does. I guess. I remember when she asked the forum members for recipes for her first book. We all generously gave and why her book was so successful.
Maybe we should publish our own but it would be a massive exercise and a massive missal for the church of Thermomix!

We don't need to publish a special recipe book Gert, it's all here before us. You just need to spend some time searching the recipes -this is the greatest recipe book of all ;D
