Here's the recipe we were given.
I used the dough recipe above, with the addition of a pretty big spoonfull of vanilla bean paste to the milk.
Followed the recipe and kneaded the dough 'till it was sexy & elastic and then gave it a rest/rise in a warm spot on the front seat of Tim's van. (It got a bit hot there so I moved it inside to a sunny spot in front of the window)
These are the fillings I used:
Filling #1 - Fig, Walnut & Milk Chocolate with Dark Brown Sugar Meringue
Filling #2 - Mixed Berry & Apple with Standard Meringue
I wasn't too sure about the berry & apple filling - I thought it might turn out a bit soggy, but they both turned out great!
Here's a few pics of the process
I've never been really good at making bready things, but I was really happy with how these turned out.
I liked both fillings, but Hubby really liked the Apple & Berry filling the best.
I really enjoyed my first challenge, this recipe was a complete winner!
I think I might try this dough recipe out for making some sticky cinnamon scrolls next time :) hmmm...
