I have been baking bread for many years. I am very excited to discover this recipe (and your blog) on a number of levels.

I have been testing recipes for a couple of years, to use for leftover Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches. I would have never though about using the root vegetables, but it makes so much sense. Have you ever considered adding sage, and other “stuffing” herbs to this dough?

Lastly, my husband gave me that exact square muffin pan for Christmas last year and I’m always looking for cool ways to use it!

Excellent work, Chuck.

Hi Shalaine,

yes, you place the cookie sheet with the rocks on top while baking. I wouldn’t worry to much about them being cooked enough. Really most buns in muffin tins take between 25 – 30 minutes to cook. You shouldn’t have a problem.

Of course, you can remove the cookie sheet 5 minutes before they are finished, so you can check them. The cookie sheet is to stop the tops of the buns from becoming round. So, if you removed the cookie sheet 5 minutes before it won’t make a difference with the buns. They will be set by that time.

take care,

chuck

I’m always trying to find differnt ideas to bring to our holiday table because my family is stuck in a rut of the same stuff every holiday! Which can be good, but a little boring. I just had a question about the baking method – you put a weighed down baking sheet onto the buns while cooking, correct? And with the sheet ontp during the baking process, how do you know when they’re done? Thanks!

After looking over seven pages of your blog, I thought I should probably comment.
I found your blog through a search for making challah bread. I am SO glad I did. We try to eat mainly organic foods and make a lot of our own food from scratch, but I have never really been able to make good bread (excepting challah). Your blog, through your sister’s photographs, and your wonderful report of the recipes, has sparked my interest in trying my hand at making fresh bread again.
I actually found CookingBread.com earlier today, but hadn’t realized that this blog was associated with it until I read your bios. I loved the step-by-step instructions on the Cooking Bread.com as well as the recipes. I will be making some challah tomorrow, trying a new recipe, then trying some of your other bread recipes, especially the zucchini bread one.
I will be checking in on your blog, hopefully being successful with making most of the recipes you have put on here. I loved some of the cute little bread ones, like the cones one, and the different shaped buns. They look wonderful.
Just wondering, what was the name of your restaurant,the soup and sandwich one? Just curious.

Sincerely,
Miss Rachel
