Haha, is it terrible that i think this is so funny. Especially their toupees. Made by MochimochilandPersonalized candy wrappers from Traylor Papers, so pretty! Many pretty things in this store, go take a look! Below: a golden carriage card, an a classic 'Lulu at the market' notes.Some of their items: a golden carriage card, and classic Lulu notes.

Cute joke I heard today: knock knock? who's there? control freak. cont- now you say 'control freak who?'
Hurhur.

Much randomness in today's post. Last bit! Mommy had been dropping little hints about, 'remember those nice bread rolls you made? maybe the next time you make them, I could take some to work for lunch, make little sandwiches out of them! Fancy that!' So, bread rolls it was, when I decided to do a little baking yesterday. They were well received like the last few times i made these. I think I'm gonna be baking a lot more bread than anything else. Seems to be the one thing that everyone seems to like, which, for about 10 people in the house, is no mean feat i tell you! Anyway, this recipe is pretty straightforward and easy. No need to worry if it looks a little lumpy at first, because you add the flour to the liquid rather than the other way round, but it works out . Oh and I skipped the egg yolk. Just don't like it.

Dried Cranberry Dinner Rolls

2 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
1 cup milk, warm (105F-110F)
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp butter, melted and cooled
2-2 1/2 cups bread flour
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1 egg yolk

In a large bowl, combine milk and yeast and let stand for about 5 minutes, stirring slightly to dissolve yeast.
Stir in honey, butter, salt and 2 cups of bread flour. Add remaining flour in a tablespoonful at a time, stirring until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic (3-5 minutes). Place dough in a lightly greast bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let stand for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Turn dough out onto a very lightly floured surface and flatten slightly. Knead in cranberries and let dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.
Divide dough into eight equal portions and shape each into a ball. Place on parchment lined baking sheet, cover with a clean dish towel, and let rise for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 375F.
With a fork, beat the egg yolk with 2-3 tbsp water and brush the mixture over the rolls.
Bake for about 18-20 minutes, until rich golden brown.
Cool on a wire rack before enjoying.

Makes 8 rolls.
