Any Home Bakers Here?

So, despite having scandinavian ancestry, I'd never heard of lefse. Do you have to have the special rolling pin to make it, or can you use a normal one? (looks delicious).
 
Funny, someone on another forum I visit (SufficientSelf.com) mentioned dried tomatoes and it reminded me of what I used them for the most: bread. I can't remember if I posted this here, I think not. Make a batch of bread dough, let it rise, knead it down and then roll/shape it into a rectangular shape, about 1/2 inch thick. Brush some olive oil over the surface, covering the dough thoroughly, then sprinkle fresh herbs and finely chopped sun dried tomatoes over the dough. Just a light layer. Press down a bit to keep it in place and then roll the dough up, like you would a Swiss Roll. Place in a bread pan and bake as you would a normal loaf.

When you cut into the loaf, you will have a spiral of herbs and dried tomatoes running through the slices. It's delicious still warm and served with just butter.

Thank you! I use the one with all the grooves in it. I assume you can use the other but wouldn't work as well. I used a silicone pie mat from Pampered Chef to roll it out and that was slick otherwise my lefse always stuck to the fabric you rolled it out on.

Thanks. I wonder if they'd have them anywhere here or it'd have to be ordered from overseas. How do you clean it? Does the dough get into those grooves?

That sounds wonderful, thanks for sharing.
 
I was looking for recipes for dinner rolls, but most recipes online don't call for any egg... I found a couple on here I might try, and noticed they have egg... So I was curious to find out what exactly the difference is. Found a good article, thought I'd share...

What are your guys' opinions, use egg or not?
Eggs are a dough enhancer, as is oil, diastolic malt powder, lecithin, powdered milk and oil.

I have a roll recipe that makes a lot of rolls. I make them for thanks giving and they are called thanks giving rolls. The recipe is not in the index on the first page so I will post it here. It uses 3 eggs and is very tasty!
Quote: I baked a batch of these rolls on Sunday, froze them for Thanks Giving.
