The Amazing Bread Dough

It's amazing what can be done with simple bread dough. Roll it thin and give it a little twist;Bake until brown and crispy for the most fantastic bread sticks ever!
I love how Elizabeth looks like she is playing an instrument in this photo; playing with food is too fun.
With this same bread dough roll thin, spread with melted butter and sprinkle on some cinnamon sugar.
Cut into wedges and add to a pan that is covered in melted butter, brown sugar and pecans.
Presto, yummy pecan rolls.
With the leftover bread dough simply roll and shape into a log.
Bake until brown.
Goodness, three yummy foods from one batch of amazing bread dough.

  1. reminds me of when I was a kid.. my mom use to make a huge batch of dough and from it she would make cinnamon rolls, doughnuts, dinner rolls, breakfast stollens and several loafs of bread.
    She only baked once a week so that way we were sure to have enough for every meal.

  2. YUM! I baked bread yesterday, too! :), but all I did was a regular loaf and 4 mini loaves. Do you know the secret to cutting cinnamon rolls without squishing them? Thread, or dental floss. Place a long piece of it under the dough roll, bring ends opposite til you've cut thru. Hard to explain, but really easy to do!
