I was talking to my SIL yesterday and she was telling me that she had made her first batch of Sticky Bun's or any sort of bread.. So as I was not up to making Hot cross buns this year I thought I would give them ago .. I had a friend come and do some gardening for me today so I was wanting to make her a treat .. Unfortunitly the yeast was past it's use by date so they did not rise as well as they should .. but they still tasted pretty good..
@jyokota love making bread.. it is very therapeutic.. my Mum made all our bread when we were kids.. I use to trade my sandwiches so that I could taste shop bought bread.. would never do that now.. lol...
@julzmaioro -- I baked bread in my 20s and haven't baked now in decades, or cooked. But with this now being my 42? day in isolation, I've now baked four loaves: 1) disastrous rice bread attempt 2) pretty good 3) nice and crispy exterior (gaining momentum and confidence and then 4) total disaster. Can't even slice it to give it to the squirrel
@joansmor -- thx I'll try that one next. My husband left me about 8 sticks of Crisco in the freezer so maybe I should use one since I won't be baking pies like he did.
This buns look yummy.
