This was supposed to be the month I redeemed myself. After being an utter Slacker Babe for the past three months, I wanted to get back into the good graces of the (ever-gracious and never-guilt-tripping) Bread Baking Babes with these Oatmeal Twists. I’m sorry to say I have failed.
They look nice, but in case you were wondering if the bread-is-very-difficult-to-overbake principle also applies to rolls: it doesn’t. Or perhaps it does, and I have acheived the near-impossible. In any case, Elle (FeedingMy Enthusiasms) selected a wonderful recipe for us, her adaptation of Farine’s Morning Cuddles. Thanks to about 15 superfluous minutes in the oven, mine were nothing like a cuddle at all. Try morning whack upside the head.
I promise you, the flavor of these twists is just lovely. So I encourage you to be a Bread Baking Buddy by 1) reading the recipe more carefully than I did, and 2) sending the photo of your cuddly-soft twists to Elle by June 29.
What a pity you overbaked them… after all the effort.
I’d love to be a June BBBuddy and I am looking forward to baking them.
All the best!
Sure proves looks can be deceiving doesn’t it. These look perfectly wonderful. Things happen.
Love that basket.
I plan to do my vegan version.
I never knew 15 min. would already be enough to overbake them. Too bad, but the picture looks good at least 🙂
Too bad, Susan!! What’s strange is that they don’t look over-baked at all. In fact, they look how I wanted my twists to look.
Can your twists be rescued and turned into bread pudding?
They do look good! Too over-baked to eat? That’s a shame. Ah well, there’s always the next bread!
So there is such a thing as too long a morning cuddle after all! 😉 Sorry about the mishap, Susan! Like Elizabeth I am hoping you were able to rescue the rolls and turn them into something yummy.
We won’t talk about that time-lapse thing…. They look lovely!
Overbaked? Susan! LOL well they could be my morning bread then. between my husband and me I’m the one that could use a whack on the head in the morning, can we all say slooooow starter?
