Frozen Bread in Meals and Desserts

Transcription

1 Frozen Bread in Meals and Desserts Frozen bread dough can be purchased as a loaf or as dinner rolls. For great bread, simply follow the directions on the package. Plan ahead; it has to have time to rise. I like to set it in the refrigerator the night before to save time. The speed method using a warm oven & hot water works wonderfully if you are in a hurry. IDEAS Use cupcake pans to put your dinner rolls in. Cut the rolls in half or fourth and put in the cupcake pan to make the fancy roll. Braid your bread. Check with your local bakery to see if they will sell you frozen rye, whole wheat, or pumpernickel bread. Braiding 3 varieties of bread makes a beautiful spread. Make it into a circle and put a small vase with flowers for the season. Use your imagination! Be creative! Have fun!! These recipes are from the frozen bread lesson presented by Dolores Effingham County Daniels, HCE Belle Rive Unit 1 in Jefferson September County. Major Lesson
