If it starts to get frothy, then you know it's good. If there is no "action" then you know you've got a dud batch.

Took about three attempts and different recipes to get them right. I understand what you mean when you say you're don't "do" bread - in fact, these days I just throw everything in a bread machine and let the gadget take the strain.<br /><br />If you didn't get them to puff up, just present them as what we call "rock buns" in the UK. Your guests will swoon at these exotic little treats :)<br /><br />Keep on cookin'!<br /><br />LondonEats (mr!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6382434821675080224.post-72558183176915723912011-05-27T22:35:23.113-05:002011-05-27T22:35:23.113-05:00Haha!
