Thursday is such a fabulous day! Its a one-class day and only one day away from Friday. Its the detox, de-stress, day and the only thing that makes the week bearable. I spent the day studying, baking rolls, and watching a few episodes of Gilmore Girls. Heaven. Baking bread is the perfect activity for a college student because you can study at the same time. After making the dough it has to rise for about an hour — perfect for studying. About the time the dough is risen its time for a break from studying. After kneading the dough, forming it and putting it in to bake for the allotted time its easier to focus on studying again. Once the bread is finished so is the homework!

I decided to experiment a little and make the rolls into rosettes. I’m pretty sure you can do it with any dough roll recipe. I used the dinner roll recipe from the Better Homes and Gardens cook book. After the dough rises split it into two and let it rise a little more. Then divide each section into 16 little pieces.

1. On the lightly floured table roll each piece until it’s about 12″ long.

2. Tie the piece into a knot

3. Fold one end over and tuck it into the middle

4. Fold the other end and tuck it underneath.

5. Voila! Let them rise a little larger

6. Then they’re ready to bake.
