Plyboard Rolls

These knobbly and sandpapery looking rolls are one of the more delicious things I've baked lately. And they are healthy too.

I can't take credit for inventing them. I saw them being made on morning TV, and it looked so easy. Of course I adapted it a little, but the original recipie is here.

And guess what? It was easy! 

They have been tested on My Men and guests and they all raved. I prefer them with a slathering of real butter, but they are apparently good with white or brown cheeze.

Musli Rolls with Figs and Walnuts

1/2 kg rough wheat flour

1/2 kg rough rye flour

50 grams yeast (or equivalent in dry yeast)

2 ts salt

3 dl wheat bran

2 dl oat bran

1 dl linseeds

300 grams chopped mixed nuts (I used walnuts, hazelnuts and almonds)

200 grams chopped dried figs (I would use whatever I have in the pantry)

12 dl tepid water

Mix all but 2 dl of the flour mixture together with the tepid water mixed with yeast. This gives a loose batter/dough that you can mix by hand or in your machine (I used my Kitchen Aid) for five minutes. Add the rest of the flour untill you have a thick and sticky dough. Leave to cure for an hour in a warm place.

Litterally blob the now stringy and sticky mixture onto a baking tray lined with waxed paper. I think I made 32 rolls. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 225 degrees celcius for 15 to 20 minutes. Cool on a rack.

We ate loads for lunch on Sunday, and I have split some and frozen them so I can pop them in the toaster in a rush.

Sticky Chocolate

... the joys of baking. And being a kid.

Green and Pink

... is a delicious combination. Fresh prawns from the North Sea with an avocado-mousse. Easy peasy, and totally yummy.

And in the background: my favourite sauvignon blanc, Twin Islands, and the best part is that I get to drink some after almost a year of sobriety.

Skål!
