A question for you bread gurus.
I have a dinosaur baking tray and I was hoping I might be able to make some dinosaur-shaped bread rolls.
Any hot tips for me?
I am thinking issues might be:
- doesn't totally fill mould shape
puffs up too much
Can I weight it down on top with another tray or something? Will that work? Will it cook nicely????

Remember it will double.
Yes you could weigh it down. I think I would experiment first. I would weigh the dough in various lots, write down what they are, and then select the best one. You will then know for the future. Let us know how you go.

So, let's say I did a cold-oven one... just small amount of dough in each hole?.... pop it in with a weighted tray on top?
Then turn on oven?

It should work fine Molly.
I made one batch of chookies no fuss rolls, which was divided into the 12 heart cavities.
I flattened the dough, and pushed it to the bottom design of the pans.
I let the dough rise to 3/4 up the pan, placed a heavy tray that the base had been sprayed with cooking oil, and placed it on top of each cupcake tin.

like chookie mentioned, it will rise, so I guess just go ahead and experiment.....it's still yummy bread if it doesn't quite work out ;)

Awesome Maddy. I can't wait to see the dinosaur ones Molly.
-
Well there you go, almost anything can be achieved. :)

Well, they weren't too bad!!
I haven't opened one up yet... I want to save them for kindergarten lunches. While I'm typing I'm waiting for the pics to up load to photobucket so I can load them up here. Is that how you guys get pics up? Via a host like photobucket??
1. How the dough sat in the tin. About 100g per 'roll'. I oiled the tray first.

2. On top I put a dish of water as a weight and to help with the leftover bread that I made into a small bread stick.

3. Not very dinosaur-y. Rawwwr.

I did Chookwoman's cold oven method. In the tray, weighted down, in cold oven 15 minutes 160ºC and then 15 minutes 200ºC... then a few minutes on the oven rack with no tray.

Well at least you know it is possible. They look cute.

Molly. Thanks for the pictures. Good effort. I think that Maddy has the right idea with just 3/4 fill the shapes as you can see with the center one that it has gone over the edge. I am sure they will taste great. I think it may have been better to have cooked them in a hot oven. I am sure the kids will love them.

You'll have perfect dinosaur rolls in no time Molly.
I use phtobucket for my photos. It's the only way I can do it. :P

I have done bread buns in silicone muffin trays, worked well, but the kids ate them too fast...!! :)
